Style Question: Use of “we” vs. “I” vs. passive voice in a dissertation

English
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]4 years ago
5 0
A dissertation is a written thesis, often based on original research, usually required for a higher degree.

In writing a dissertation, it is preferable to use the passive voice instead of "we" or "I". It is more formal and it presents the facts or results of research clearly. The use of the passive voice will help the readers form their own opinion about the dissertation based on how they perceived it while reading it not on how they read your subjective views.

Common Sense
ZanzabumX [31]

According to Thomas Paine, it is just and justifiable to go to war under two circumstances. One of them is when the sacrifice of a few men would save masses of human beings and made them happy. The evidence of this can be grasped by the phrase he uses: '... when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy.'

The other situation that can justify a war is when troops invade a country and make it theirs. Paine beholds a country as a home, that's why he uses that metaphor to describe a piece of land. The evidence for this statement is when he says '... but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it... am I to suffer it?

On the other hand, he does not believe it is justifiable to go to war seeking wealth. He states: 'Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war...'

Which statement is the most objective summary of the passage?
Rufina [12.5K]

The statement that is the most objective summary of the passage is "Sugar cane is no longer the main source of sweetness for most people," option D.

What is a summary?

A summary is a short text that functions as a briefer version of another text, covering its main ideas and topics. A summary is considered objective when it does not add its author's own opinions to the text, when it simply states the facts already provided in the original text.

Let'a analyze each summary provided in the question:

  • Option A - There is bias when the author judges habits as "poor." Not objective.
  • Option B - There is bias when the author judges techniques as "better." Not objective.
  • Option C - Again, there is bias when the author judges the work as not interesting. Not objective.
  • Option D - Correct answer choice. There is no bias present, the author is simply stating a fact. Objective summary.

With the considerations above in mind, we can conclude that the most objective summary is provided in letter D.

Note: It is possible to answer this question safely even without the passage. All we must do is look for opinions or biases in each answer choice.
