which of the following is an objective observation?
a.
i was driving along in heavy traffic, heading inbound on the tobin bridge, when suddenly the blue camry in front of me slammed on her brakes. when we got out of the car to exchange information, the tall, brunette woman was clearly shaken up but unharmed. her passenger, the skinny, blond man was enraged-shaking his fists and scowling at me. i was thrilled when the police arrived to mediate.  
b.
the accident was clearly caused by the bridge construction crew, who had reduced the three lane bridge to just one lane. as typical, the workers were sitting around drinking coffee, laughing at the traffic jam that they caused. that said, they did at least muster up the energy to call the police after the accident and to report that the black accord was clearly at fault.  
c.
we were stopped in traffic when suddenly a black accord slammed us from behind. the driver most likely was texting, since, if he were paying attention, there is no way that he could have missed that traffic had stopped.
d.
the accident occurred at 7: 45 a. m. at the foot of the inbound level of the tobin bridge. while no people were injured, both cars appear to be totaled, with damage on the front end of the blue camry, and the rear end of the black accord.  

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.

- "in the declaration of independence, it is stated that all people have certain rights that can't be taken away. when the government fails to protect these rights, the people have no choice but to remove that government and replace it with a government that will do its job and protect the people's rights."
