Question 5 • 25-26 CA-English Language Arts 9 A

Why is the statement by the New York Times subjective?

Answer
A
Someone else might think that Yatman’s expression was one of determination.
B
It is unlikely that anyone would disagree with the reporter’s opinion of the events.
C
Most people would see Yatman’s face and decide her expression was one of pain.

Explanation

The statement is subjective because describing Yatman’s expression as showing a particular emotion is an interpretation, not an objective fact. Another person might look at the same expression and see determination rather than pain. Choice A captures how people can interpret it differently.
