Question

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

Explanation:

Eliminating subjective language means removing words or phrases that express personal opinions or feelings. The original sentence "Nazario's editorial will make readers want to take action" uses "will make" which is a prediction and can be seen as subjective.
Option 1: "Nazario's editorial makes readers want to take action" still has "makes" which can be considered a bit subjective as it implies a certain effect without clear evidence.
Option 2: "Nazario's editorial makes readers think about the experiences of refugees" changes the meaning completely from the original sentence about taking action.
Option 3: "Nazario's editorial uses language that encourages readers to take action" is more objective as it simply states what the editorial does (uses a certain type of language) without making a prediction or assumption about the readers' reaction.
Option 4: "Nazario's biography does a better job of persuading readers to act" compares with a biography which is not relevant to the original sentence about the editorial.

Answer:

C. Nazario's editorial uses language that encourages readers to take action.
