Answer
A
objective because it is influenced by feelings or opinions.
B
objective because it is not influenced by feelings or opinions.
C
subjective because it is influenced by feelings or opinions.
D
subjective because it is not influenced by feelings or opinions.

Explanation

The statement judges Swift’s use of false premises as “the most effective” way to signal satire. Calling one technique the most effective is an opinion rather than a fact that can be verified on its own, so the statement is subjective. Choice C, “subjective because it is influenced by feelings or opinions,” is correct.
