Editorial, Bulawan City Herald: "Keep the Sunday closing of Rizal Avenue. Vendors report steadier sales, and the city clinic logged fewer road injuries." What position does this editorial take?
Editorial: "Barangay San Isidro spent PHP 40,000 on new streetlights. Night crime reports fell by half. The council should fund lights for the two remaining purok." Where is the position stated?
Editorial: "Our division should fund night classes for working teens. Two nearby cities did so, and their dropout rates fell. Tell your councilor this week." Which sentence is the call to action?
Editorial: "Free ferry rides for senior citizens are worth their cost. The city loses PHP 2 million a year on them. Elders reach the provincial hospital on time." What is the writer's position?
Editorial: "Rain floods the Malinao public market every August. Stalls close for days. Sellers lose stock. The city must finally rebuild the market drainage." Where does the writer state the position?
Editorial: "Some parents say the new curfew punishes hardworking teens. Yet late-night road crashes near the plaza have dropped since June. The curfew should stay." Which sentence states the writer's own position?
An opinion editorial argues a position, while a news report presents events without arguing one.
Editorial: "The city should hire more school nurses. Last year one nurse served 1,400 learners at Bulawan National High School." What support does the editorial give for its position?
Editorial: "Barangay Lumbia should test its wells. Dr. Amihan Reyes of the state university says shallow wells near the old dump often carry unsafe water." What kind of support is the second sentence?
Editorial: "Night lighting at the covered court is worth the PHP 90,000. Barangay records show evening use rose from 20 to 140 residents a week." Which sentence carries the support?
Editorial: "Every school in the division should teach coding. Coding is the future, and everyone already knows that it matters." What is weak about this editorial's support?
An editorial argues that the Malinao public library should open on Sundays. Which support best backs that position?
Editorial: "San Vicente should sort waste at the barangay level. Nearby Santo Niño began sorting in 2023 and now sends half as much waste to the dump." How does the second sentence support the position?
Editorial: "Critics say the new bike lane will slow jeepneys. Traffic counts taken in March show travel times are unchanged. The lane should stay." What does the second sentence do?
Editorial: "The new footbridge cost PHP 6 million. It opened to the public in April. Spending that much on a bridge so few people use was careless." Which part is the writer's judgment?
Editorial: "Division records show 312 learners share four comfort rooms at Tanauan High School. That is unacceptable." Which sentence reports a fact rather than a judgment?
Two texts cover the same market fire. One says the response was slow and must improve. Which signal shows that text is an editorial rather than a news report?

Editorial: "State university researchers found lead in three of twelve wells in Barangay Lumbia. Ignoring that finding for another year would be reckless." Which sentence carries the writer's judgment?
