Developing Central Ideas in Wheels of Change, Part 5

Question 3 • 25-26 CA-English Language Arts 9 A

Which statement is subjective?

Answer
A
“Jane Yatman set out to ride 700 miles, a feat which she accomplished in 81 hours, 5 minutes.”
B
“Miss Yatman plainly showed the effects of the terrible strain in her countenance.”
C
“Those miles, and indeed the entire last century, were ridden in a drenching rainstorm.”

Explanation

A subjective statement expresses an opinion or interpretation rather than a fact that can be checked directly. Choice B says Miss Yatman “plainly showed” the effects of strain in her face, which is a judgment about her appearance. The distance, time, and rainstorm in A and C are presented as factual details.
