Question

richard preston’s book the hot zone details the steps soldiers and scientists took to identify the deadly ebola virus found in monkeys near washington, d.c. what best describes this sentence taken from a summary of the it is objective because it presents personal feelings and opinions in addition to the facts. it is subjective because it presents personal feelings and opinions in addition to the facts. it is objective because it is based on facts and does not present feelings or opinions.

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze the sentence about The Hot Zone. An objective statement is based on facts without personal feelings/opinions. The sentence describes what the book details (steps to identify Ebola in monkeys) – this is factual, not including personal views. The first option is wrong (objective doesn’t include personal feelings). The second is wrong (subjective includes personal views, but the sentence has none). The third matches: it’s objective as it’s fact - based and has no feelings/opinions.

Answer:

It is objective because it is based on facts and does not present feelings or opinions.
