Question

Which of these phrases is the most objective?

Answer 1

C. My oldest sister went away to college when I was 12.

When something is called “objective,” it is said to be free of bias.  What that means is that there will not be any inclusion of opinion.  When something is written objectively it can be said to plainly be stating the facts.  The opposite of being objective is being subjective, and being subjective means to include bias/opinion.  When we look at the options for possible responses to this question, Option A includes the opinion of being cute and fun to play with.  Option B includes the opinion that they lived on the coolest street. And Option C includes the opinion that the sisters are stupid and played annoying games.  Only Option C is free from opinion (and therefore is the most objective) because it only states facts—the oldest sister moved when the person speaking was 12.

Answer 2

The phrase which is most objective is C) My oldest sister went away to college when I was 12.
The other sentences use words such as cute, coolest, stupid, annoying, which are quite subjective.
