Question

make it relevant monday
what is the difference between
objective and subjective?
read the following article about drone usage.
answer the questions that follow.

although drone usage has been a highly controversial debate over the past few years, researchers at william
carey university in mississippi have been studying ways in which drones could prove to be life saving devices. in
many critical incidents, priceless minutes are lost because of the wait for an ambulance to arrive. scientists
suggest that using a high - tech drone to deliver emergency supplies could drastically reduce wait times and even
casualties of mass disasters or war. disaster drones could also carry medicine and medical supplies to remote
locations that are difficult to reach via vehicle. first, a drone must be equipped with not only the proper medical
supplies, but also instructions for use. once properly outfitted with necessary items, there is a possibility that the
drone could also have capabilities to connect to a doctor for advice. researchers are working with google glass
to try and find ways to make the communication process even easier. lastly, the drone must be programmed to
communicate with a gps location that could be found on a cellphone. although there are many factors to
consider and plan for before the utilization of “disaster drones” becomes mainstream, there is the definite
possibility that drones could be a key component of life saving strategies in the very near future.

1. which of the following is an objective summary of the article?

a. drone usage is highly controversial but their use is necessary to advance modern healthcare.
b. drones have many benefits, but ultimately we need far more data from research in order to start
using them for medical reasons.
c. drones are a great way to deliver specialized healthcare to rural places.
d. researchers are studying ways in which drones could be outfitted to deliver medical care in
emergency situations.

1. how does the author reveal his opinion about drone usage?

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the objective summary, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The article doesn't state drone use is "necessary to advance modern healthcare" (subjective opinion, not objective summary).
• Option b: The article says there's a "definite possibility" of drones being key in life - saving, not that "far more data" is needed (incorrect interpretation).
• Option c: The article mentions drones can carry supplies to remote locations, but "a great way" is a subjective assessment, and it also covers mass disasters/war, not just rural healthcare.
• Option d: The article's main focus is researchers studying how to outfit drones for medical care in emergencies (matches the objective content of the article).

The author reveals opinion through:

• Highlighting the benefits: States drones could "drastically reduce wait times and even casualties" in mass disasters/war, carry medicine to remote areas, and have the "definite possibility" of being key in life - saving strategies.
• Focus on positive research: Discusses researchers' work to make drones useful in emergencies (like equipping with supplies, communication capabilities, GPS programming) rather than emphasizing controversies. The tone and content show optimism about drones' potential in life - saving, while acknowledging implementation challenges.

Answer:

d. Researchers are studying ways in which drones could be outfitted to deliver medical care in emergency situations.
