Which of the following sentences from Text 2 is an opinion?

• According to a recent study, when actors take on a new character, they may be able to suppress their everyday self.

• The findings showed that when the actors heard their own name during the performance, their response was suppressed in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain.

• The same result was witnessed consistently in six actors who were tested when rehearsing several times over a week.

• They used a series of sensory drama games, known as the Hunter Heartbeat Method.

• We hope that this study will help us understand what theatre training does to the brain and to build new connections between neuroscientists and theatre professionals.
