<u>Which excerpt from a student essay maintains the most objective tone?</u>
<em>C. The careful way Elisa tends her garden reveals that she takes great pride in her abilities as a gardener.</em>
An <u>objective tone </u>means the author of the essay is not sharing her/his personal opinion, bias or judgment about a subject, but presenting the information impartially.
The remaining options have a <u>subjective tone</u>, through the use of the pronouns "me" or "I", which indicate the student is presenting a personal opinion about Eliza.
