Read this excerpt from narrative of the life of frederick douglass: we were not regularly allowanced. our food was coarse corn-meal boiled, this was called mush. it was put into a large wooden tray or trough, and set down upon the ground. the children were then called, like so many pigs, and like so many pigs they would come and devour the mush; some with oystershells, others with pieces of shingle, some with naked hands, and none with spoons. he that ate fastest got most; he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied. which best explains how douglass uses objectivity to convey his perspective in this passage? a. he uses formal word choice, like "allowanced" and "secured," to establish his authority. b. he includes details, such as "wooden tray" and "oystershells," that verify his experience. c. he avoids sentimentality by simply describing the conditions in which enslaved people lived. d. he creates pathos by referring to his hunger to make readers feel sorry for him.

The correct answer is C: He avoids sentimentality by simply describing the conditions in which enslaved people lived. When writing an objective text the author has to avoid including personal experiences, feelings, emotions, or opinion that can bias the message of the text. In this case, the author is only narrating the facts of what happened, and he does not include any sentimental elements in his description. For this reason, his text becomes objective.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
