Question

read the following sentence: the quarterback threw the ball, and the wide receiver made an amazing catch to score the winning touchdown. which change to the sentence would make it more objective? a. adding \fantastic\ before \quarterback\ b. removing the word \winning\ from \winning touchdown\ c. correcting the spelling of \threw\ d. changing \made an amazing catch\ to \caught it\

Explanation:

Objective language avoids subjective, evaluative terms. "Amazing" is a subjective adjective that expresses an opinion. Replacing the subjective phrase "made an amazing catch" with the neutral, factual "caught it" removes bias. Option A adds another subjective term, Option B removes a factual detail, and Option C is unnecessary as "threw" is spelled correctly.

Answer:

D. Changing "made an amazing catch" to "caught it"
