Read the excerpt from a summary of Common Sense.[1] Thomas Paine states that to talk of friendship with Britain is unwise. [2] Relations between the countries are steadily declining, and he is certain that they will not improve. [3] Paine concludes that reconciliation is not possible because some injuries are unforgivable. [4] Paine’s logic is indisputable; without his words, America might have remained subject to British rule to this day. Which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?
Sentence 4 should be revised because it praises Paine’s logic as “indisputable” and makes an unsupported claim about what might have happened without his words. Those are opinions rather than objective summary. The other sentences describe Paine’s argument and conclusions.
