Answer 2

Option A is the correct answer.

"Low rents will restrict the supply of housing." is a positive statement. It is so because the statement can be verified.

Other statements are value judgements and advice as they use the phrases 'too much' , 'good because' and  'ought to be free'.

Positive statements tell us about

• what is occurring at present
• facts that are empirical.

They do not tell us about:

• an advice
• instruction
• value judgement
