Which sentence should be revised to make this paragraph more objective?
sentence 1

sentence 3
sentence 4

1 answer

Sentence 3 should be revised to make the paragraph more objective. The phrase "he was also the best president" is subjective and reflects a personal opinion rather than an objective statement. A more objective way to phrase it could be to say he was "highly regarded" or "well-respected" among presidents.
