Question

which assertion would be easiest to objectively verify? 1 the trees are in the ideal spot to create shade. 2 the lawn will be beautiful by next summer. 3 the yard will be the envy of the neighborhood.

Explanation:

Objective verification requires measurable, non-subjective criteria. Option 1 can be checked by analyzing sun exposure, tree canopy coverage, and shade area using tools like sun path calculators or light meters. Options 2 and 3 rely on subjective judgments of "beautiful" and "envy of the neighborhood," which vary by person and cannot be objectively measured.

Answer:

1. The trees are in the ideal spot to create shade.
