Question 4 • English Language Arts 10

How should this excerpt be edited to make it more objective?

Answer
A
by including direct quotations from the professor about his knowledge of the gambling ring
B
by deleting the department chairman’s and professor’s names from the article
C
by interviewing the department chairman and the professor to get both sides of the story
D
by removing the commentary that the professor is most likely involved in the gambling ring

Explanation

Objective writing reports verifiable facts without adding unsupported judgments or speculation. Saying the professor is “most likely involved” presents a conclusion that may not be established by evidence, so the excerpt should remove that commentary. The best choice is D, removing the commentary that the professor is most likely involved in the gambling ring.
