Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo.

Answer 1

Answer:

"They are small creatures and very pretty."

Explanation:

refers to how a person's judgements are shaped by their personal experiences and feelings. It is often used as opposed to objectivity, which is the use of pure facts, with no personal bias.

In this case, the first option (sheep that have no ears) is stated as a fact that we can objectively examine. Either the sheep have ears, or not, but it is not subject to personal opinion. The third and fourth options are similar to the first one, in that they only state a fact, with no bias of opinion from Marco Polo.

However, the second one states that the sheep are "small" and "pretty," which are not easy to define objectively. Marco Polo might think the animals are small and pretty because he is comparing it to his previous experience with similar animals in Europe. However, someone from a different culture might think of them as large and ugly. Because this is open to debate, and the answer can change based on personal bias, this is a good example of subjectivity.
