Question

which sentence uses the same meaning of the underlined word in the sentence below?
ranal was good at separating his emotions from his decisions; therefore, we always asked him for his objective opinion.
a. the international airport in london must be heavily guarded because it is a military objective for terrorists.
b. my objective is to save enough money to send my parents on a cruise for their 50th anniversary.
c. doctors must look at a patients objective symptoms before he or she can diagnose a disease.
d. the objective teacher graded his students on their performance and not on their personality.

Explanation:

In the original sentence, "objective" means unbiased, based on facts rather than personal feelings. Option D uses "objective" to describe a teacher who judges based on performance (fact-based) rather than personality (personal bias), matching the original meaning.

• Option A uses "objective" to mean a military goal.
• Option B uses "objective" to mean a personal goal/aim.
• Option C uses "objective" to mean observable, measurable symptoms.

Answer:

D. The objective teacher graded his students on their performance and not on their personality.
