Yes, I stand by my previous response. The sentence "Book designers avoid line breaks that would hinder a reader's comprehension of the text when they lay out a manuscript." is the most formal and objective option among the ones provided. It presents the information in a clear, straightforward manner without personal opinion or informal language.
If you have further context or specific criteria for "formal" and "objective," please feel free to share, and I can reassess the options!
You are correct that the sentence "A good book designer will always carefully lay out the text to avoid awkward line breaks." could also be seen as formal, but it contains a subjective phrase ("good book designer") and implies a judgment about what makes a book designer "good," which introduces a level of subjectivity.
In contrast, the sentence "Book designers avoid line breaks that would hinder a reader's comprehension of the text when they lay out a manuscript." maintains a more objective tone by stating a general practice of book designers without implying personal qualities or judgments.
So, while both sentences are formal, the third option is more strictly objective. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your inquiry into the details!
