A relationship within a sentence is the link between ideas found in that sentence. If the relationship is explicit, then the writer has used a transition word to tell you what the link is. If the relationship is implicit, the connection between ideas is still there, but you must figure out for yourself what the link is. The types of relationships are the same as the types of relationships between sentences listed above. The tone of a written passage is the author's attitude toward the subject matter.
Writers purposefully use tone to convey their message or the point of the passage.
A fact refers to persons, places, objects, occurrences, or processes that actually exist or did exist. A fact statement can either be true or false. Statements that deal with evaluations, attitudes, or probabilities cannot be proved true or false and are called statements of opinion. An opinion statement is subjective. A statement expressing possibility or probability that cannot be proved true or false by objective means is a statement of opinion.
