dmit im too subjective.\
of the following statements, which one will cause her to admit that shes too subjective?
a suvs get poor mileage
b army jrotc teaches citizenship
c exercises like this one wont help me
d cell phones are useful in emergency situations

Explanation:

To solve this, we first recall the difference between objective and subjective statements. Objective statements are factual (verifiable), while subjective statements are based on personal opinions, feelings, or judgments (not verifiable).

• Option a: "SUVs get poor mileage" – This can be verified (factual, objective) by checking SUV fuel efficiency data.
• Option b: "Army JROTC teaches citizenship" – This is a factual claim about what JROTC teaches (objective, verifiable).
• Option c: "Exercises like this one won’t help me" – This is a personal opinion about the usefulness of the exercise (subjective, as it depends on the individual’s beliefs/feelings, not verifiable).
• Option d: "Cell phones are useful in emergency situations" – This can be verified (e.g., by citing emergency response data, objective).

Answer:

c. Exercises like this one won't help me
