Question
which sentence uses the same meaning of the underlined word in the sentence below?
ranal was good at separating his emotions from his decisions; therefore, we always asked him for his objective opinion.
a. doctors must look at a patient’s objective symptoms before he or she can diagnose a disease.
b. the objective teacher graded his students on their performance and not on their personality.
c. the international airport in london must be heavily guarded because it is a military objective for terrorists.
d. my objective is to save enough money to send my parents on a cruise for their 50th anniversary.
First, we determine the meaning of "objective" in the original sentence. In "Ranal was good at separating his emotions from his decisions; therefore, we always asked him for his objective opinion", "objective" means unbiased, based on facts rather than emotions.
- Option A: "objective symptoms" refers to symptoms that can be observed/measured (factual), and "objective opinion" here would mean an unbiased opinion. But the first part's "objective symptoms" is a different context (medical symptoms) but the word's meaning (factual, not emotional) aligns? Wait, no, let's check each:
- Option B: "The objective teacher graded his students on their performance and not on their personality" – "objective" here means the teacher is unbiased, grading based on performance (facts) not personality (emotion), which matches the original sentence's "objective" (unbiased, fact - based, not emotional)
- Option C: "military objective" means a target, which is a different meaning (noun, goal)
- Option D: "My objective is..." uses "objective" as a noun (goal), different from the adjective use in the original.
Wait, original sentence: "objective" is an adjective (unbiased). Let's re - evaluate:
Original sentence: "objective opinion" (adjective, unbiased, fact - based).
Option A: "objective symptoms" (adjective, observable/measurable) and "objective opinion" (adjective, unbiased) – but the first part's "objective symptoms" is about medical symptoms (factual), but the second part is opinion. However, the key is the meaning of "objective" as unbiased (not influenced by emotion).
Option B: "objective teacher" – teacher who is unbiased, grades on performance (facts) not personality (emotion) – this matches the original's "objective" (unbiased, fact - based, not emotional).
Wait, let's re - check the original sentence: Ranal separates emotions from decisions, so his opinion is objective (unbiased, based on facts, not emotions).
Option B: The teacher grades on performance (facts) not personality (emotion) – so the teacher is objective (unbiased). This matches.
Option A: "objective symptoms" are medical symptoms that can be verified (like fever, rash), "objective opinion" – but the first part is a different usage (symptoms as factual), but the second part is opinion. But the original's "objective" is about opinion being unbiased. Option B's "objective teacher" (unbiased) is a better match.
Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's define "objective" in the original: in the context of opinion, "objective" means not influenced by personal feelings or opinions; based on facts.
Option B: The teacher grades on performance (facts) not personality (emotions) – so the teacher is objective (not influenced by emotions, based on facts). This matches the original's "objective" (opinion not influenced by emotions, based on facts).
Option A: "objective symptoms" are symptoms that are observable (like a broken bone can be seen), which is a different sense (factual in a medical, observable way) but "objective opinion" here would be a fact - based opinion. But the original's "objective opinion" is about not being emotional. Option B's teacher grading on performance (facts) not personality (emotion) is a better match.
Wait, let's check the options again:
Original sentence: "objective" (adjective, unbiased, fact - based, not emotional).
Option A: "objective symptoms" (adjective, of or relating to an object of thought; independent of personal feelings or interpretations) – symptoms that are real, not imagined. "objective opinion" – opinion based on facts. But the first part is…
