question 9 of 10
which sentence is an example of a subjective statement in a culinary wasteland?
a. using colorado springs as his focal point, mr. schlosser takes the reader on a behind - the - scenes tour of the fast - food industry that includes slaughterhouses, poultry processors, artificial flavors, e. coli bacteria and workplace violence.
b. the fast food mentality, as mr. schlosser calls it, has also defaced americas landscape, helped wipe out its small businesses and independent farmers and homogenized peoples taste buds to a lowest common denominator.
c. americans are addicted to cheap, bad food, he argues, and like all addictions, this one exacts broad and often unseen costs from the community.
d. furthermore, mr. schlossers appraisal is not comprehensive but a hodgepodge of impressions, statistics, anecdotes and prejudices.

Explanation:

A subjective statement reflects personal opinions, feelings, or judgments. Option D uses words like "hodgepodge" and "prejudices" which are clearly subjective evaluations of Mr. Schlosser's appraisal. Options A and B present factual information about the fast - food industry's impacts (e.g., including specific elements like slaughterhouses in A and defacing the landscape in B). Option C, while it has an element of opinion ("addicted"), it is more of an argument based on a claim about a societal behavior. Option D is the most clearly subjective as it is a personal assessment of the quality and nature of an appraisal.

Answer:

D. Furthermore, Mr. Schlosser's appraisal is not comprehensive but a hodgepodge of impressions, statistics, anecdotes and prejudices.
