a writer’s attitude toward a subject that is opinion - driven, influenced by feelings, and potentially biased
writing in which the text structure and syntax are complex, the vocabulary level is advanced, and rules of grammar and usage are closely followed
writing in which the text structure and syntax are simple, the vocabulary level is accessible, and rules of grammar and usage are loosely followed
a writer’s attitude toward a subject that is fact - driven, serious, and seemingly neutral

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes a subjective, opinion - driven and biased tone, not objective.
• The second option is about the complexity of text structure, vocabulary and grammar usage, which is not related to the definition of objective tone.
• The third option is about simple text structure and loose grammar usage, also not related to objective tone.
• The fourth option: An objective tone in writing is fact - based, serious, and neutral, without being influenced by personal opinions or feelings. This matches the description of "a writer’s attitude toward a subject that is fact - driven, serious, and seemingly neutral".

Answer:

D. a writer’s attitude toward a subject that is fact - driven, serious, and seemingly neutral (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D in order, with the last option being D)
