Read the following passage: the fire started at 4: 30 a. m., and it wasn't completely out until 10: 00 p. m. the brave firefighters and heroic neighbors joined together to combat the devastating blaze. as a reporter, i was impressed by the generous community support. which phrase from this passage is a subjective element that makes the passage less trustworthy? a. it wasn't completely out until 10: 00 p. m. b. i was impressed by c. the fire started at 4: 30 a. m. d. as a reporter

The answer is B: I was impressed.

 The phrase "I was impressed" is only indicating the writer's/speaker's  personal reaction or point of view, which may infuence his feelings and reporting of the facts. It's a subjective  element that has no concern with right or wrong,it  merely expresses the writer's beliefs, opinions and perspectives based on their own experience and observation.

the answer should be b.

explanation:

it should be b because she researched before writing so it would be in past tense. "the author researches her subject before she had written the first draft.

i've read it so how can i ?
