Answer 2

Answer: 2

In this passage, William highlights many chraacteristics of King's speech. He states that King uses repetitive words and phrases, that the tone of the speech is hopeful and that repetition builds rhythm and momentum. Finally, he claims that King finished his speech with strength. All of these statements can be checked and proven right or wrong. In other words, they are objective, and based on evidence from the text. However, he also states that the repetition of a phrase is done "wisely." This is a judgement of King's abilities and personality, and it represents an opinion. Therefore, the statement is subjective.
