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. Which statement best compares the two paragraphs? Both paragraphs are objective, using plain language to inform the reader. Both paragraphs are subjective, using emotional language to persuade the reader. Paragraph 1 uses objective language, while paragraph 2 uses subjective language. Paragraph 1 uses subjective language, while paragraph 2 uses objective language.

Respuesta :

i believe the answer is C : Paragraph 1 uses objective language, while paragraph 2 uses subjective language.

in paragraph 1 the narrator is being fair about his statement and is being respectful , however in paragraph 2 he is being rude and over exaggerates ..

The correct answer is: Paragraph 1 uses objective language, while paragraph 2 uses subjective language.

Lets take into consideration that subjective language uses personal opinions, points of view, emotions or judment. Objective language tires to give facts taht can be compared to reality, that means, facts that can be observed by everyone.

In the first paragraph, the author limits to describe the facts, describing the injuries and the actions commited by Santiego Lopez and the league. In this way the reader (us) will take all that information and decide wether the league is righ or wrong.

In the second paragraph the author already did that job for us. He has taken one side, he uses judment and emotions to influence us. "The league actions are disappointing and irresponsable" is a clear example of subjective languaje, as we can see, the authors point of view is against the league.
