Answer:
The sentence that is an example of an objective summary is:
B. Malaria was common in marshy areas where mosquitoes bred.
Explanation:
When a sentence is subjective, it expresses the opinion and feelings of the speaker. That means it is biased - it doesn't stick only to the facts, but allows preconceptions and opinions to permeate it. That is what happens in the first, third, and last options provided. The subjectivity in those sentences can be identified because of the use of the words "interesting", "ridiculous" and "obviously", which help convey the speaker's feelings and ideas.
On the other hand, the second option is an example of an objective sentence. Unlike the others, it sticks to facts only. There is not a single word or phrase focusing on the speaker's opinion on the subject. Therefore, it is the correct answer.

Indeed, the statement summarizing Smith’s claim provides the reader with all the essential information about it since not only it includes the claim but the conclusion since such is already present in the claim.
Additionally, using examples of her reasoning and evidence allows the reader to form his own informed opinion in light of the empirical and factual evidence which supports the claim. The effect of such evidence is that the claim becomes credible because it is supported by documented data that can be analyzed by the reader himself to arrive to a conclusion.
The strategy that would most improve Laurel’s statement to make it more conventional is option D) “Change the phrase "shooting the breeze" because it is too informal and cannot be understood literally.” When speaking to her new neighbors about babysitting their daughter, Laurel needs to adapt her language to her audience, in this case adults, in order to express her ideas in a way that everybody understands. The rest of the options are incorrect since the language used is not informal and does not interfere with the understanding of her message.
