This question is incomplete; here´s the complete question.  

Read the opening paragraphs from two articles about the same news story.

Paragraph 1: Santiago Lopez, a retired Professional Football League quarterback for the San Diego Waves, has publicly accused his former employers of negligence. While he played on the team, he sustained two severe knee injuries. Both injuries were to the right knee and happened within six months of each other. According to Lopez, the league knew of the seriousness of the injuries, but required him to continue to play instead of allowing him to recuperate properly. He continues by saying, "I made a commitment to the league, the Waves, and the fans, and I wanted to fulfill that, but not at the cost of my career. If I had been allowed to heal properly, I believe that I could still be playing today.” League officials have declined to comment.

Paragraph 2: Santiago Lopez, one of the all-time greats of the Professional Football League, was forced to retire because he can no longer walk unassisted. While playing with the San Diego Waves, he sustained painful injuries to his right knee. Lopez says that the league knew he was hurt but required him to continue to play throughout the remainder of the season. The league’s actions are disappointing and irresponsible. By refusing to allow Lopez to properly treat his injuries, the league has essentially forced him into early retirement. This mismanagement has robbed him of the rest of his career and the fans of the opportunity to see him play.

Paragraph 1 uses objective language, while paragraph 2 uses subjective language.

Paragraph 1 uses subjective language, while paragraph 2 uses objective language.

Paragraph 1 uses objective language, while paragraph 2 uses subjective language.

Explanation:

While objective language provides facts so the readers can draw their conclusions on their own to form an informed opinion about the subject, subjective language tends to persuade the reader to agree with the opinion of the writer.

In Paragraph 1, the writer provides facts, clearly stating the information´s sources ("According to Lopez") and not allowing his own opinion to be part of the text.

On the contrary, paragraph 2 takes a stan on the matter, and, for example, provides information likely provided by Lopez, as a fact instead of a quote ("was forced to retire").
