Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean
Kamen
Which statement from the excerpt expresses an opinion
rather than a fact?
O a man who had a machine shop of his own ..
O He allowed me to visit him after school and on
weekends
O When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment.
My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of
metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a
milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new
equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a
machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move
to Florida He allowed me to visit him after school and on
weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was

equipment but all his little toolboxes as well--they were
treasures!
