Question 7 • FL-2100310-United States History Sem 1

Read this paragraph about America’s first president.[1] George Washington, the first president of the United States, took office on April 30, 1789. [2] Washington took his oath of office in New York City on the steps of Federal Hall. [3] He was the first president, and he was also the best president. [4] He served for two terms. Which sentence should be revised to make this paragraph more objective?

Answer
A
sentence 1
B
sentence 2
C
sentence 3
D
sentence 4

Explanation

Sentence 3 should be revised because calling Washington “the best president” is an opinion, not a verifiable fact. The other sentences give factual details, such as when he took office, where he took his oath, and how many terms he served. Removing or supporting the opinion would make the paragraph more objective.
