This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read the sentence.
Frida Kahlo, one of the most talented artists of the twentieth century, is best known for her brightly colored self-portraits.
Which type of language is used in this sentence?
A. formal, objective
B. formal, subjective
C. informal, objective
D. informal, subjective
Answer:
The type of language that is used in the sentence is:
A. formal, objective
Explanation:
Formal language takes grammatical correction into consideration, avoids the use of slang words, and often employs a vocabulary that is not commonly used in daily interactions. Formal language is commonly used in written texts, especially academic papers.
Objective language is free of subjectivity, that is, it does not present the author's opinion. Instead, it focuses on facts.
The sentence we are analyzing here has language that is both formal and objective. We must be careful because of the phrase "one of the most talented artists," which may sound as if the author of the sentence is offering his own opinion concerning Kahlo. That is not the case, since it is amply established and accepted that Kahlo was indeed one of the most talented artists of the 20th century.
