Question 5a

A fact can be proven true or false with evidence. The statement describes an action (hunters going farther as winter progressed) that could be verified (e.g., through expedition records or observations). So it is a fact.

An opinion is a personal belief or judgment. Whether winter was "difficult" is subjective—some might have different views on the expedition members' experience. It's not a verifiable fact.

A fact is a statement that can be proven. The presence of vegetation and wildlife along the Missouri River can be confirmed through scientific observation, research, or historical records of the area.

Answer:

a. Fact. Reason: The action of hunters having to go farther to find game as winter progressed can be verified with evidence (e.g., expedition logs or historical accounts of the hunters' activities).
