Forward also means into view or consideration, defined by the dictionary.Then pretentious , which has pre as prefix, means creating an image of oneself , that is ostentatious.However, this outter appearance of great worth, is deceptive as the claim to disctinction does not exist.

Read each statement, and identify whether it conveys an objective tone.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Introduction:

We use an objective tone to provide information in a neutral, impersonal way.<em> An objective tone focuses only in the facts and sticks to the information only</em>, it avoids personal pronouns and judgmental words.

When a text tells us something about the writer (his opinion or how he feels about the subject) we are using a subjective tone.

Answer:

You will regret not listening to me if you fail to use my solution.

  • <em>This statement is</em><em> not written in an objective tone</em><em>, because the writer is expressing his opinion on how the reader will feel if he or she doesn't use the writer's solution. </em>

  • <em>This statement is </em><em>using an</em><em> </em><em>objective tone</em><em> because it is sticking to the facts and not expressing any opinion on the topic. </em>

Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal.

  • <em>This statement </em><em>uses an objective tone</em><em>, because it doesn't tells us how the writer feels about the proposal. </em>

Composting waste from lunches is one of my best ideas for helping to save the environment.

  • <em>This statement </em><em>is not using an objective tone</em><em>, it is using a subjective tone because the writer lets us know he is excited for having one of his best ideas.</em>
