Question

In a group discussion, which of these is the best example of challenging the credibility of a source?

A. Given that the author reveres Valmiki as a prophet, I don’t think we can count on his objectivity.

B. I disagree with Alex Fernandez that Tom Joad represents the "everyman"; he represents the outcast.

C. Whatever Davidson may argue, I still think Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice is prejudiced.

D. The violence in Aphra Behn’s Oroonoko would have offended Victorian audiences.

Answer 1

Answer: Given that the author reveres Valmiki as a prophet, I don't think we can count on his objectivity.

Answer 2

A. Given that the author reveres Valmiki as a prophet, I don't think we can count on his objectivity.

Note that reveres pretty much means "worship", and if the author reveres Valmiki, it means that the author's opinion is positive, and is not objective.

Objective means giving information without including one own's opinions or "feelings", and only giving the facts.
