Developing Central Ideas in Wheels of Change, Part 5

Question 4 • 25-26 CA-English Language Arts 9 A

Which statement is subjective?

Answer

“Jane Yatman set out to ride 700 miles, a feat which she accomplished in 81 hours, 5 minutes.”

“Miss Yatman plainly showed the effects of the terrible strain in her countenance.”

“Those miles, and indeed the entire last century, were ridden in a drenching rainstorm.”

Explanation

B is subjective because “plainly” and “terrible” express an interpretation of Jane Yatman’s appearance rather than a directly measurable fact. A gives specific distance and time, while C describes the weather—details that can be checked objectively.
