<u>Which excerpt from a student essay maintains the most objective tone?</u>
<em>C. The careful way Elisa tends her garden reveals that she takes great pride in her abilities as a gardener.</em>
An <u>objective tone </u>means the author of the essay is not sharing her/his personal opinion, bias or judgment about a subject, but presenting the information impartially.
The remaining options have a <u>subjective tone</u>, through the use of the pronouns "me" or "I", which indicate the student is presenting a personal opinion about Eliza.
The answer is A, uneven parallelism, because of "with" and "who".
The sentence which uses possessive personal pronouns correctly is sentence (d).<span>Did you eat the whole potato and its skin?
the rest of the sentences should've been written like this:
</span><span>Alicia thought that the blue jacket was hers.
</span><span>The dolphin bobbed its head up and down.
</span><span>Yours was the one with the blue tag, on the table.</span>
