AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Option 1: "the means by which the university was founded"
Explanation: The text states that the George Washington University was created in 1821 through an Act of Congress, which provides clear and objective evidence regarding its founding. This information is directly supported by the text, making it a factual statement.
Option 2: "the size of the university compared to others"
Explanation: While the text mentions that GW is the largest institution of higher education in the District of Columbia, it does not provide a comparison to other universities outside this context. Therefore, this option lacks the necessary objective evidence to support a comparative claim.
Option 3: "the advantage given by the university's location"
Explanation: The text highlights the university's location in Washington, D.C. as a core aspect of its identity, but it does not explicitly state that this location provides an advantage. Thus, this option is not supported by objective evidence.
