Question

read this sentence from a summary about some americans reactions to immigration in the late 1800s. everyone who held nativist views was a cruel person. why would this sentence be inappropriate in an objective historical summary? it is off topic. it is too detailed. it expresses an opinion. it expresses emotion.

Explanation:

An objective historical summary should present facts without personal opinions. The word "cruel" is a subjective judgment, not an objective fact. It reflects the writer's opinion about nativists, rather than a neutral description of their views or actions.

Answer:

It expresses an opinion.
