texting is the best way to communicate.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to distinguish between facts (statements that can be proven true or false) and opinions (statements that express a personal belief, judgment, or feeling).

Step 1: Analyze "Many newspapers are going online."

This statement can be verified (e.g., by researching newspaper trends). It is a fact.

Step 2: Analyze "Texting is the best way to communicate."

The word "best" implies a personal judgment (what one person thinks is best may not be true for others). This is an opinion.

Step 3: Analyze "This is the worst movie ever made."

The word "worst" is a subjective judgment (different people have different tastes in movies). This is an opinion.

Matching:

• Facts: Many newspapers are going online.
• Opinions: Texting is the best way to communicate; This is the worst movie ever made.

Answer:

• Facts: Many newspapers are going online.
• Opinions: Texting is the best way to communicate; This is the worst movie ever made.
