eighteen cents in November
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'the latter, which had sold at twenty-four and three-quarters cents in January, 1880, fell to nineteen and one-half cents in July, to eighteen cents in November and to sixteen cents in December.' Javas did indeed fall to eighteen cents in November 1880, exactly as claimed.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself makes this factual statement). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states this as fact. The sentiment 'negative' is appropriate given the context of price decline. The time qualifier correctly specifies November 1880 with proper normalization (1880-11), matching the passage's statement 'eighteen cents in November'. The context is appropriately empty as the passage does not restrict the claim to a particular sense or role. The quote 'eighteen cents in November' appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim about Javas falling to that price.
