Question 18 • TPS EdX English Language Arts 11
Read the excerpt from the Joint Statement by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill. Third, they respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them; Which approach best describes the tone of the excerpt?
Answer
A
objective with a number of words relying on authority
B
subjective with a number of loaded words and phrases
C
objective with a string of logical deductions and facts
D
subjective with a reliance on facts and logic
Explanation
The excerpt expresses the leaders’ values and intentions through phrases such as “respect the right” and “wish to see,” rather than presenting verifiable facts or a chain of logical deductions. “Forcibly deprived” is emotionally charged language that frames the loss of self-government as an injustice. This makes the tone subjective and reliant on loaded words and phrases, so choice A is best.
