Developing Central Ideas in Wheels of Change, Part 5

Question 2 • 25-26 CA-English Language Arts 9 A

Which statement is subjective?

Answer
A
“Jane Yatman set out to ride 700 miles, a feat which she accomplished in 81 hours, 5 minutes.”
B
“Miss Yatman plainly showed the effects of the terrible strain in her countenance.”
C
“Those miles, and indeed the entire last century, were ridden in a drenching rainstorm.”

Explanation

A subjective statement expresses an opinion or interpretation rather than a verifiable fact. Choice B describes Miss Yatman’s appearance as showing the effects of a “terrible strain,” which is an observer’s judgment. The distance, time, and rainstorm in A and C are factual details that could be checked.

AI-written and checked against the verified answer.
