Answer:

historical

Explanation:

The historical present is the use of a verb in the <u>present tense</u> to refer to an event that took place <u>in the past</u>.

The verb flies is in the present tense; however, it refers to a period of time in the twentieth century, which was almost a hundred years ago. That's why it is called historical present.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Vegetarianism is, in general, the practice of living on a diet that does not include meat and even other animal products. There are, however, different kinds of vegetarian diets. Some may include eggs, for instance, while others may exclude eggs but include milk.

Explanation:

<u>Writing objectively means writing in an unbiased, impartial manner. The writer avoids manifesting his own opinion and ideas on the subject. If you read the answer above, you will see the sentences are all impartial. They contain only facts about vegetarianism, but no opinions about it are voiced. Therefore, they are examples of objective writing.</u> Compare them with the example below, which is written subjectively:

- Vegetarianism is too hard. I don't think I would last a week as a vegetarian.

See the difference? The subjective sentence above expresses a personal opinion.
