opportunity vs. chance

[Lost_Soul]

[Haihao]

I'm all for it, too, lost_soul. I found in my 'textbook' that,

Jump at the chance,
Jump at the opportunity,
Jump at a chance,
Jump at an offer...

are all possible. It also seems to me that the phrasal verb is 'jump at' and the following nouns are applications.

Dear respected teachers,

So what is difference between opportunity and chance, please?

Your textbook may have chosen one over the other, but I can't see why. The two are synonyms here.

I've seen and heard both, and I think it's just a coin toss as to which you should use.
