What could be considered a characteristic of opinion?

It requires evidence to support
It is based on personal feelings or thoughts
It can be proven true or false
It is always based on factual evidence

The correct answer is: It is based on personal feelings or thoughts

A characteristic of opinion is that it is based on personal feelings or thoughts. Opinions are subjective, meaning they are influenced by the individual's beliefs, experiences, and emotions. Unlike facts, which can be independently verified, opinions represent a person's perspective and interpretation of a situation or topic. This aspect of opinions distinguishes them from statements that require evidence for validation. While evidence may be used to support an opinion, it is not a requirement for the opinion itself to exist. Additionally, opinions cannot be universally proven true or false since they are inherently personal and often vary widely among different people. Thus, the correct answer highlights the fundamental nature of opinions as reflections of individual feelings or thoughts.
