Answer:
A. The White Whale has been around for a while. But due to the long, solitary voyages of fishermen and little contact among them, the whale’s behavior has not been widely known, let alone witnessed.
Explanation:
An objective summary is when a summarized version of a passage is made or done with just the facts made in the text and no personal opinions included in it. This means that an objective summary tells the text version and not the opinion of any particular individual.
In the given passage from Herman Melville's "Moby D ick", the objective summary will be to talk of the <em>"long, solitary voyages of fishermen" </em>and how little contact between them made the story of the whale less known. It simply 'shortens' the given text, thereby making it an objective summary.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
