Which of the following headlines is a fact? a. president vetoes bill as predicted b. hardworking teacher fired over student grades c. election in one western town makes mockery of democracy d. freedom fighters overthrow evil regime

A. President vetoes bill as predicted.

Explanation:

A fact is defined by the dictionary as " a thing that is known or proved to be true." This gives us a clue to answer this question, the fact is the one that presents reality in the most trustworthy manner. This means it is meant to be objective, the event described is providing the information and the thoughts and judgments of the author must be removed.

In this case the president did something and people had predicted it, no extra information is needed to know that, the actions are just described the way they happened.

In the other options, a judgement is done by the author, for example, by saying it's an "evil regime", a negative view is intended. The author wants the reader to take a side. The same happens with the "hardowrking theacher" and with the description of the election as "mockery".
