A museum's yearly note to its trustees contains the four sentences below. Which of them states a judgement of value rather than a matter of fact that evidence could settle?

Competition practiceLogical / Critical
  • AThe museum admitted 41,320 visitors during the year
  • BThe gallery of textiles was closed for repairs for eleven weeks
  • CThe gallery of textiles is the finest room in the building
  • DAdmission is charged at ten rupees for an adult and is free for a child under twelve

Step-by-Step Solution

A visitor count, the length of a closure and the rate of admission can each be checked against records and settled beyond argument. Calling a room the finest in the building sets it above the others by a standard of worth that no record contains, and two careful people may weigh that standard differently while agreeing on every fact. That is what makes it a judgement of value.
Answer: C) The gallery of textiles is the finest room in the building
