Is it A?
Yes, A.
To determine which statement from the memoir is an opinion, we need to distinguish between statements that can be objectively proven or verified and statements that express personal beliefs or judgments.
Statement A, "Martin and Ralph saw extraordinary sights," does not contain any subjective language or personal beliefs. It presents a factual statement that can potentially be verified. Therefore, statement A is not an opinion.
On the other hand, statements B, C, and D can all be seen as factual statements without any subjective language. However, we cannot definitively say which of these statements is an opinion without further context or information. To determine whether a statement is an opinion, we typically look for subjective language, personal biases, or expressions of beliefs that may not be universally agreed upon.
Therefore, since we cannot definitively identify any of the given statements as opinions without more context, it is incorrect to conclude that statement A is an opinion.
