Explanation:

Vocabulary Review

1. The phrase "positive... toward the movie" refers to the reviewer's perspective, which matches "point of view".
2. Presenting facts without opinion means the article is unbiased, which matches "neutral".
3. The phrase "is to inform readers" describes the writer's goal, which matches "author's purpose".
4. Not clearly stating an opinion but expressing disapproval means the feeling is conveyed indirectly, which matches "implicitly".

Skill Review

1. The passage only states historical facts about the impact of the French-British war on American sailors, with no personal opinion or entertaining elements, so the purpose is strictly to inform.
2. The excerpt "Both sides preyed on American shipping" shows the author's framing of both nations' actions as exploitative, which is the clearest clue to their perspective. The other options are just factual statements without framing.
