Which excerpt from the introduction to A state of War and Peace contains subjective language?

Most awards raise a cacophony of sentiment, from praise and admiration to protests or just plain head-scratching.
Mohandas Gandhi's name is virtually synonymous with peace, and yet, after five nominations, he was never given the award, which is unjust.
We know Nobel's relationship with Countess Bertha von Suttner (née Kinsky), a peace campaigner, had a huge effect.
This book will look at the history of the Nobel Peace Prize and the debate surrounding it.

Answer: B) Mohandas Gandhi's name is virtually synonymous with peace, and yet, after five nominations, he was never given the award, which is unjust.

Step-by-step explanation: subjectivity is the quality of being influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions, which can affect the judgement. From the given excerpts from the introduction to A state of War and Peace, the one that contains subjective language is option B, because it refers to a personal opinion (that Gandhi's name is virtually synonymous with peace) and also shows feelings (by saying that it is unjust).
