Question

correct the following sentence by choosing the revision that best eliminates subjective language.
nazarios editorial will make readers want to take action.
nazarios editorial makes readers think about the experiences of refugees.
nazarios attempt to present facts to the reader is obscured by emotional details.
nazarios editorial uses language that encourages readers to take action.
nazarios biography does a better job of persuading readers to act.

Explanation:

Identify the subjective element

The original sentence is: "Nazario's editorial will make readers want to take action."
The phrase "will make readers want to" is subjective because it assumes or predicts the internal feelings and desires of the readers, which cannot be objectively proven or measured.

Analyze the first option

"Nazario's editorial makes readers think about the experiences of refugees."
This option still makes a subjective claim about what readers are thinking ("makes readers think").

Analyze the second option

"Nazario's attempt to present facts to the reader is obscured by emotional details."
This option introduces a biased, critical opinion ("attempt... is obscured") rather than objectively revising the original statement.

Analyze the third option

"Nazario's editorial uses language that encourages readers to take action."
This option describes the text's actual characteristics ("uses language that encourages") rather than predicting the readers' internal psychological state. This is objective and verifiable.

Analyze the fourth option

"Nazario's biography does a better job of persuading readers to act."
This option introduces a value judgment ("does a better job") and changes the subject from an "editorial" to a "biography."
