A transport committee's report contains the four statements below. Which of them is a statement of fact — one that evidence could show to be true or false — rather than a judgement?

Competition practiceLogical / Critical
  • AThe town's bus service is a disgrace
  • BPassengers deserve better than they are getting
  • CNothing matters more to a town than the way it moves its people
  • DFourteen of the town's twenty-two buses are more than twelve years old

Step-by-Step Solution

The ages of the buses are recorded in the depot's papers, so the fourth statement is either true or false and can be checked. Calling a service a disgrace, saying passengers deserve better and holding that nothing matters more to a town each rate the service against a standard of worth rather than describing it, and no register can settle them.
Answer: D) Fourteen of the town's twenty-two buses are more than twelve years old
