Putting it together: explain each side, check the claim, sentence 4
Some things are facts as widely reported, like who invaded whom, and some are arguments people still have; a good citizen keeps the two apart, argues kindly, and tells people honestly what happened, like a class rep at the end of the term.
Who acts: things, some, arguments people, good citizen · What happens: be, report, invade, have, keep, argue · To what, where: facts, arguments, two, people · Speech: someone speaks here
