Question 4 • English I

Which excerpt from the introduction to A state of War and Peace contains subjective language?

Answer

A

Mohandas Gandhi's name is virtually synonymous with peace, and yet, after five nominations, he was never given the award, which is unjust.

B

We know Nobel's relationship with Countess Bertha von Suttner (née Kinsky), a peace campaigner, had a huge effect.

C

This book will look at the history of the Nobel Peace Prize and the debate surrounding it.

D

Most awards raise a cacophony of sentiment, from praise and admiration to protests or just plain head-scratching.

Explanation

Subjective language expresses an opinion or judgment rather than a verifiable fact. Choice B calls Gandhi’s not receiving the award “unjust,” which is an evaluative judgment. The other excerpts mainly describe the book’s topic or make claims without that explicit judgment.
