In this adapted excerpt from James Joyce's short story "Araby," what literary device does the author use to describe the scene?

We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by loud men and bargaining women, amid the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of food, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O'Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land.

Which sentence is the most subjective statement?   A. Bryan thanked the owners for the raise and vowed to continue his hard work
Likurg_2 [28]
Subjective: based on or influenced by personal experiences, beliefs, thoughts

I just copied and pasted this to see if anyone else had an answer, one person said B and that got 5 stars and a few thanks, so I'd go with B. Also, B seems objective because it is influenced by the person's feeling of the character.
