Question 7 • English Language Arts 9

Read the topic sentence. In "I Have a Dream,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. cleverly uses repetition and allusion to make his argument for equality. Which word should be removed to make this an objective topic sentence?

Answer
A
equality
B
repetition
C
cleverly
D
argument

Explanation

Objective writing avoids words that express an opinion or judgment. “Cleverly” praises the way Dr. King uses repetition and allusion, so it makes the sentence subjective. Removing “cleverly” leaves a factual statement about the techniques he uses to make his argument for equality.
