Explanation:

To determine which element adds to the factual style, we analyze each option:

• "the use of descriptive words such as 'Mission control erupts'" – Descriptive words are more for literary or narrative style, not factual.
• "the radio message from Armstrong" – A direct quote alone doesn't inherently make it factual; it's a statement of what was said, but not statistical or numerical data.
• "the statistics describing the landing time and the amount of fuel left" – Factual style often includes precise numerical data (statistics) like "4:18 p.m. EDT" and "30 seconds of fuel remain" to convey accurate, objective information.
• "the exaggeration 'about to turn blue'" – Exaggeration is a figurative or persuasive device, not factual.

So the statistics about landing time and fuel left add to the factual style.

Answer:

the statistics describing the landing time and the amount of fuel left
