Read this excerpt from a passage. As the World Wildlife Foundation reports on its website, "Pirate fishing accounts for an estimated 20%
of the world's catch and as much as 50% in some fisheries. The costs of illegal fishing are significant,
with the value of pirate fish products estimated at between $10-$23.5 billion annually."
How do you know this excerpt contains objective language?
It stresses the author's point of view.
O The information is from a website.
O It provides factual information that can be verified.
O The author's opinion is convincing.

The correct answer is C. It provides factual information that can be verified.

Explanation:

Objective information focuses on facts and reality, rather than on personal views. Due to this, all objective information can be verified as this information derives from phenomena that can be observed, studied, and measured. Moreover, objective language avoids including the author's point of view or opinion and focuses on providing neutral information.

This occurs in the excerpt presented because all information regarding pirate fishing such as "Pirate fishing accounts for an estimated 20%" or "the value of pirate fish products estimated at between $10-$23.5 billion annually" is neutral and can be proven. Indeed, it is possible to read other sources to know if the statistics given are true or to study the phenomenon as the rate of pirate fishing and the cost of its products does not depend on personal perspectives but it is a reality.
