It says informed opinions are the judgments of experts or authorities. Example: Pediatrician Susan Homes warns parents of the relationship between stress and poor health in teenagers.

Reasons are underlying facts or causes that provide logical sense for a premise or occurrence. Example: Students who work full time clearly do not have the opportunity for extracurricular activities that non-working students have.
