True or false: the following is an objective statement.

Question

It is a proven fact that Mr Totes entered the premises illegally to make a telephone call. Security camera footage shows him kicking down the door of the premises. However, this was an emergency situation, as Mrs Totes had been stabbed outside the premises (also visible in the camera footage), and an ambulance had to be called. Mr Totes did not have his mobile phone with him at the time. Mr Totes is found guilty of destruction of property, but not of breaking and entering.

Answer 1

The statement contains both objective and subjective elements. The parts that describe the actions of Mr. Totes, such as the security camera footage showing him kicking down the door, can be considered objective statements because they are based on observable facts and evidence. However, the interpretation of the situation (such as calling it an emergency or implying justification for Mr. Totes' actions) introduces a subjective element.

Overall, while there are objective components, the entire statement cannot be classified entirely as objective due to the contextual interpretation provided. Therefore, the answer is false—the statement as a whole is not purely objective.
