Answer: a. what the author was trying to achieve
Explanation: It's either this one of d. because what the author was trying to achieve is what the authors purpose for writing the work is and an authors work should accomplish or close to accomplish their purpose.
The answer is: [A]: Because subjective accounts are often opinionated and emotional, the narrator provides only ONE {added note: should read: "one"—not: "on"} side of the story.
_______________________________
Answer choice "B" is incorrect. "Subjective accounts" are not both "factual and impartial"; and definitely not "impartial". Furthermore, given an "opinion" in "indirect, nuanced ways" is not a REASON [note the word: "because" in this answer choice] that an account would be "factual and impartial". This answer choice would be inherently contradictory. Furthermore, examine the question: "<span>Why are subjective accounts often biased?". The word "impartial" means "unbiased", so this answer choice would not make sense.
</span>______________________________
Let's look at Answer choice "C": "because subjective accounts are formal and academic". Subjective accounts may be "academic" —but not the most "formal". Also, looked at the question: "Why are subjective accounts often biased?" It wouldn't make sense that the REASON an account would be BIASED is that an account is BOTH formal and academic."
But let's examine the final answer choice, "D: <span>Because subjective accounts make heave {sic} [note: this should read: "heavy"] use of imagery the narrator uses the setting to convey his or her outlook." This is not a reason why subjective accounts are often biased. Furthermore, subjective accounts do NOT necessarily make heavy use of, or necessarily ANY use of, imagery.

It is clear that answer choice "A" is the best answer and the correct answer.</span>
A parameter is a factor that defines a system or a number that defines the scope, limit, and boundary of a particular process;
whilst,
A statistic is a fact or information or inference derived from the data that is obtained by means of a study or a survey.
1) 85% of those SURVEYED were in favor of bike lanes = STATISTIC (This is a <em>statistic </em>because the data obtained (85%) through a survey shows the fact that how many people were in favor of bike lanes and how many people were against (15%)
2) Each member of the soccer team has an average of 2 jerseys = PARAMETER (This is a <em>parameter </em>because of the fact that defines a minimum limit of 2 jerseys held by each member of the soccer team. This could also be a factor in a study as a question like yes or no.)
3) Of the 100 swim teams SURVEYED across America, 23 practice 10 hours a week = STATISTIC (This is a <em>statistic </em>because there is an inference that among the 100 swim teams surveyed 23 teams practice 10 hours per week and this information or inference is obtained from the SURVEY).
4) The golf team's average score is 79 - STATISTIC (This is a statistic because it gives us the inference that the average score is 79 which is obtained by processing the data obtained. It can also be statistic because we need to get an average for finding out mean, median or standard deviation in statistics. <em>So, any calculation involved is a STATISTIC.</em>)
Mere statements are PARAMETERS.
Calculations whatsoever derived from a study or surveys are STATISTICS.
