Question

Which sentence is an example of an objective summary? Elizabethans had some interesting ideas about disease. Malaria was common in marshy areas where mosquitoes bred. Studying humors seems like a ridiculous medical practice. Obviously, English citizens should have left the swampy regions.

Answer 1

First and foremost, the term "objective summary" can be defined as a short statement on a particular idea which is not influenced by personal opinions and interpretations.

In this case, the objective summary of the text is - "Malaria was common in marshy areas where mosquitoes bred." This is because, this sentence provides a fact regarding how and from where Malaria emerges. The other three sentences are merely personal interpretations of the speaker on how the Elizabethans treated Malaria. The words "interesting", "like" and "obviously" stand as manifestations of the narrators opinions about the English.
