Jonathan Edwards’s "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"

Question 6 • AL-English Language Arts 11 Critical Standards

Choose the sentences with an objective, rather than subjective, voice.

Answer

I think it was unfair that the British taxed Americans without giving them any representation in Parliament.

The Declaration of Independence lists the American grievances against the British king.

The British Parliament passed laws without any input from the American colonies.

Taxes, such as the Stamp Act, crushed the Americans under the cruel boot heel of imperial greed.

Explanation

Objective writing presents information in a factual, neutral way. The Declaration of Independence lists grievances against the British king, and Parliament passed laws without input from the American colonies; these are stated as factual claims. A calls the taxation “unfair,” expressing a judgment, while D uses loaded language such as “cruel” and “greed.”
