- greatest figure in ancient astronomy

- astonishing verisimilitude to the actual facts
Our task is to determine which phrases praise Ptolemy for his work. These phrases will contain subjective language - language that reveals the author's feelings, opinions, beliefs, or assumptions about what he's writing about. All phrases, except for the first one, contain this type of language. The first phrase contains neutral, objective language, which is why it isn't one of the correct options.
Words that Robert Stawell Ball uses to commend Ptolemy are <em>greatest, wisdom, illuminated, </em>and <em>astonishing</em>. All of these words have a positive connotation, i.e. evoke positive emotions in us.

Explanation:
Dear Friend,
It's me, (your name), and I just wanted to write you a letter to tell you about the vacation I'm going on to Philadelphia!
I really wish you were here, because the city is so exciting! I'm staying at my cousin (name)'s house in North Philadelphia. Her house is so big! She even has a walk-in closet with all kinds of different and very expensive clothes.
Tomorrow, we are going to go to Center City and visit the Liberty Place Shopping Center. I've heard that there are a whole bunch of stores in there. I went to their website, and they even have my favorite store, Bath and Body Works. I sure do love smelling all of the fragrances and lotions there!
After we do some window shopping, we will go farther into the city and stop at some Halal food trucks. I've always wanted to try some gyro. I can't believe I'm finally going to get the chance to try it!
I really wish you were here with me, and I hope you have a good summer vacation!
Best regards, (your name)

Explanation:
A scientifically proven fact that the brain does not reach maturity until the age of 25. For males, their hormonal changes are still taking place at the age of 30 where they fully mature into a man's body.
If the brain or body are not mature at the age of 18 then the definition of an adult is not attached to maturity or development but to existence and expectation.
It is wholly unfair to determine the level of one's intellect based on the time of existence rather than it's actual capability.
In that same vein, every individual matures differently and it might be in the best interest of the offender if they are given an evaluation to determine their capacity and then they can be appropriately charged for a crime.
