A student wrote the following sentence:

In conclusion, both Hester and Dimmesdale made a foolish choice to stay in Salem. Their suffering is unnecessary and could have been easily alleviated by simply traveling to another town and assuming new identities.

What assumption in this sentence makes the meaning subjective rather than objective?
Hester and Dimmesdale could have moved.
Hester and Dimmesdale made a foolish choice.
Hester and Dimmesdale stayed in Salem.
Hester and Dimmesdale suffered too much.

The correct answer is B. Hester and Dimmesdale made a foolish choice

Step-by-step explanation:

Subjectivity refers to one's personal feelings, opinions or judgments, this means subjective statements emerge from personal perspectives rather than from evidence or information. In this case, the word "foolish" in the except shows the sentence "Heaster and Dimmesdale made a foolish choice" is subjective as it suggests the student who wrote this, believes the choice of Heaster and Dimmesdale was foolish according to his/her perspective, but it is probable it was not like that from the point of view of Hester and Dimmesdale or from the evidence, due to this "foolish decision" shows the personal appreciation of the student rather than facts or the perspective of Hester and Dimmesdale and this is why it shows a subjective meaning.
