Question 3 • NY-English Language Arts 12 CR

Which of the following newspaper headlines contain a highly subjective tone? Check all boxes next to the subjective headlines.

Answer
A
“Pearl Harbor Bombed By Japanese Planes”
B
“Our Neighbors, Japanese Spies”
C
“Japanese Americans, Foes Not Friends”
D
“President Roosevelt Declares War On Japan”

Explanation

Headlines B and C use emotionally charged, judgmental language rather than simply reporting events. Calling Japanese people “spies” and describing Japanese Americans as “foes, not friends” expresses suspicion and hostility. Headlines A and D state events without that kind of subjective judgment.
