The best two (2) examples (and best two (2) answer choices are:
___________________________________________________
  [C]:  "Two neighbors and I saw Eliot's dog kill a sheep. "  ;  AND:
___________________________________________________
  [D]:  "A recent survey of sheep farmers revealed that 100,000
          sheep were killed by dogs last year."
___________________________________________________
Note:  Among the answer choices given, the aforementioned answer choices—Choices "[C]" and "[D]"—are facts that CAN be substantiated.
___________________________________________________
 Consider "Choice [A]:  "All dogs kill sheep."  Be careful of "absolutes".  Does your dog kill sheep?  Does your neighbor's dog kill sheep?  Do all breds of dog kill sheep?  Answer:  Unlikely.
___________________________________________________
 Consider "Choice [B]:  "Poorly bred dogs kill sheep."  This statement is, for the most part, meaningless.  They are many "poorly bred dogs".  There are many "pure bred dogs".  Some of each MIGHT kill sheep/ or "tend to kill sheep".  This statement is overly board or too generalized to be a "substantiated fact."
