Our first website, yahoo answers said fruit. Next, wikipedia said fruit also. Our next website is answers.com and it says fruit. Now we're going to type the word olive in dictionary.com. In the description it says fruit. So we conclude that an olive is a fruit.

Mr.Aitken so far it's a fruit and a vegetable because I looked it up on Google. So, I think it will be most likely it will be a vegetable maybe I don't know.Or maybe it will be a fruit.
