Does Wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage?

2 answers:

I believe the answer would actually be D. No, because she uses subjective language such as "absurd sophisms which insult common sense."

"A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" is full of Wollstonecraft's highly opinionated arguments meant to persuade others (ex. Calling things absurd insults...). When an author inserts his or her opinion, he or she is speaking subjectively.

I've also had this a question on my English exam.

Hope this helps! (:

Fatima will enjoy working with other people on the yearbook.

In the excerpt we know that Fatima wasn't having a good afternoon. When Martina came up with a great suggestion for Fatima to contribute to the Yearbook without putting any pressure on her. We do not know about a conversation with her guidance counselor suggesting other clubs. We also don't know if her pictures will be any good. From the excerpt, it sounds as though Fatima likes the idea of a role behind the camera so it seems unlikely that she would take over the interview. The best answer is that Fatima seems to look forward to working with other people on the yearbook.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi went to England for higher studies at the age of 19. His mother was apprehensive about young men going astray in western society. But her fears were allayed when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not to touch meat, wine and women. He faced a lot of difficulties due to his vegetarianism.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we should use the Past Simple, as the whole story refers to the past. Therefore, we should use verbs like went, was, faced, etc...

The construction go for something means try to achieve a goal, in this case, he tried to finish his higher studies.

e.g. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi went to England for higher studies at the age of 19.

The construction to be afraid/worried/apprehensive about + V+ -ing contains the verb with -ing at the end, as a part of this construction, so, in this case, we should change the verb form from go to going.

e.g. . His mother was apprehensive about young men going astray in western society.

But her fears were allayed when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi swore not to touch meat, wine and women.

In this sentence, we should use when instead of that, because when acts as a conjunction meaning at the time that.

We use the construction not to when we want to emphasize the absence of some action; in this case, that he will not touch meat, wine and women.

The construction a lot of refers to a large number or amount of things (in this case difficulties).

He faced a lot of difficulties due to his vegetarianism.
