Question

read the excerpt from a summary of the declaration of independence.
1 the declaration of independence is beautifully written. 2 jefferson argues that everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 3 it is a governments job to protect these rights. 4 when a government fails, jefferson asserts that the people can overthrow their government.
which sentence should be revised to make this summary more objective?
○ sentence 1
○ sentence 2
○ sentence 3
○ sentence 4

Explanation:

An objective summary avoids personal opinions or subjective judgments. Sentence 1 ("The Declaration of Independence is beautifully written.") is a subjective value judgment, while sentences 2-4 are factual restatements of Jefferson's arguments in the document, which are objective. Revising sentence 1 removes the subjective bias.

Answer:

sentence 1
