Read the first paragraph from an article in the local

online newspaper.

Local businesswoman Inés Garcia-Ruiz is joining the
race for the state senate seat that is soon to be vacated
by rotiring senator Benjamin Hall. A long-time resident
of this community, Garcia-Ruiz says that, if she is
elected, she will "dive into projects that aid low-income
families." This should be obvious to most constituents
because she is well known for her impressive charity
work. Time and time again, she has worked tirelessly to
improve the lives of those living in poverty in our
community.

What is the best way to improve objectivity in the
paragraph?

A. by removing the reference to Garcia-Ruiz being a
local businesswoman

B. by removing idioms, such as "dive into" and "time
and time again"

C. by eliminating the reference to projects that aid low-
income families

D. by eliminating emotional language used to describe
the charity work
