Question 4 • 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 says Miss Yatman showed the effects of strain, which is an interpretation of her appearance. The distance and time in A, and the rainstorm in C, are presented as factual details.
