Question 2 • English II CR

Read the excerpt from a magazine article. The software magnate has been revolutionizing the gaming industry for a decade, releasing several new and exciting titles each quarter. This past quarter, Mr. Vincent’s company posted an impressive profit, as it has in each of the past 10 quarters. The public has caught on to Vincent’s vision, and the sky continues to be his only limit. Which statement best evaluates the language of the article?

Answer
A
The article uses only objective language to describe the story’s subject and his company.
B
This article uses subjective language that expresses the author’s opinion on the subject.
C
This article uses objective language to impress readers with the subject’s achievements.
D
The article uses primarily subjective language to describe the company’s financial state.

Explanation

Words and phrases such as “revolutionizing,” “exciting,” “impressive,” and “the sky continues to be his only limit” express praise and the author’s judgment rather than neutral facts. The article therefore uses subjective language that reflects the author’s opinion of Vincent and his company.
