Explanation:

Question 48

The statement about money not making much difference in presidential general elections due to equal federal contributions from major - party candidates is a subjective view. Different people might have different beliefs about the impact of money in elections, and it's not an objectively verifiable fact in the sense of a universal truth. It represents a person's opinion on the matter.

The outcome of the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case Miller v. California, specifically that it resulted in a method for testing obscenity, is a matter of historical legal record. This is an objectively verifiable event, so it is a fact.

The statement that Beyoncé first became famous as a member of Destiny's Child is an objectively verifiable statement about her career history. It can be confirmed through reliable sources like biographies, music industry records, etc.
