I find all of the answers pretty neutral (that is, giving only facts, no judgements) except on sentence 3: this is because of the word "sharply".

It seems that the author of this sentence makes a judgement about the split: that they're very split, that their argument was very intense. It seems like a judgement to me more than the other sentences.
