Which sentence uses formal, subjective language? i strongly disagree with the artist’s decision to use black-and-white photography to document the fire. i think some of the photographs are kind of interesting, but most of them just don’t stand out. the photographer decided to grab her vintage camera and took some black- and-white shots. the photographer chose to document the fire and its aftermath using only black-and-white film.

"I strongly disagree with the artist's decision to use black-and-white photography to document the fire"

This sentence is subjective in as much as the author states his/her personal opinion about the way the photographer is working. We can see this by the use of the personal pronoun "I". Moreover, his own opinion is formally expressed by the use of these words "strongly disagree".

Besides, this expression "strongly disagree" is much more formal than "I think that". In formal writing, contractions are not usually allowed, but the possessive "s" can be an exception.

The last two sentences are more formal but they are not subjective because there is no reference to whom is giving his/her opinion. In other words, the sentence presents an objective and impersonal fact.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
