Answer 1

Answer:

A). Because subjective accounts are opinionated and emotional the narrator usually provides only one side of the story.

Explanation:

Subjective accounts imply narratives that are pertaining to interpretation and subject to opinions or intuition instead of reasoning or observation. Such accounts are often considered as biased due to its opinionated nature.

As per the question, subjective accounts are considered biased as 'they are opinionated and emotional that serves to offer only one side of the story'. These claims are highly affected by the beliefs, points of view or emotions that make them become prejudiced as when one includes his/her opinions while narrating the content itself favors one aspect and fails to recognize another side of the coin and present it to the readers. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Answer 2

The answer is: [A]: Because subjective accounts are often opinionated and emotional, the narrator provides only ONE {added note: should read: "one"—not: "on"} side of the story.

Answer choice "B" is incorrect.  "Subjective accounts" are not both "factual and impartial"; and definitely not "impartial". Furthermore, given an "opinion" in "indirect, nuanced ways" is not a REASON [note the word: "because" in this answer choice] that an account would be "factual and impartial".  This answer choice would be inherently contradictory.  Furthermore, examine the question: "Why are subjective accounts often biased?".  The word "impartial" means "unbiased", so this answer choice would not make sense.
______________________________
Let's look at Answer choice "C":  "because subjective accounts are formal and academic".  Subjective accounts may be "academic" —but not the most "formal".  Also, looked at the question:  "Why are subjective accounts often biased?"  It wouldn't make sense that the REASON an account would be BIASED is that an account is BOTH formal and academic."
 
But let's examine the final answer choice, "D: Because subjective accounts make heave {sic} [note: this should read: "heavy"] use of imagery the narrator uses the setting to convey his or her outlook."  This is not a reason why subjective accounts are often biased.  Furthermore, subjective accounts do NOT necessarily make heavy use of, or necessarily ANY use of, imagery.

It is clear that answer choice "A" is the best answer and the correct answer.
