Question

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:

Answer 1

The correct answer is C: He avoids sentimentality by simply describing the conditions in which enslaved people lived. When writing an objective text the author has to avoid including personal experiences, feelings, emotions, or opinion that can bias the message of the text. In this case, the author is only narrating the facts of what happened, and he does not include any sentimental elements in his description. For this reason, his text becomes objective.
