A review of the main events in a text that includes the writer's bias/opinion?

• A. Rhetorical devices
• B. Subjective summary
• C. Expository essay
• D. Objective summary

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how a summary can reflect the writer’s viewpoint. A summary that includes the writer’s bias or opinion is a subjective summary. It still covers the main events, but it adds the author’s judgments or feelings, which shows a personal perspective rather than a neutral recap. This contrasts with an objective summary, which sticks strictly to the facts and avoids personal opinions.

Rhetorical devices are techniques used to persuade or convey meaning, not about how a summary is written. An expository essay is a type of writing that explains information, usually without personal viewpoint. An objective summary is the neutral recounting of events without bias, which is the opposite of what this option describes.
