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.
