To determine which of the four sentences is neutral, we need to understand the meaning of "neutral" in this context. In this case, a neutral sentence refers to a sentence that presents the information without any clear bias or strong emotion.
To analyze the sentences, we can look for any words or phrases that indicate a strong emotional response or bias. Let's break down each sentence:
1. "Netta and Jim wrangled over their views of free trade." - The word "wrangled" suggests a heated or intense argument, indicating a possible bias.
2. "Netta and Jim expressed different views on free trade." - This sentence seems to be fairly factual and does not indicate any strong emotions or biases. It presents a neutral statement.
3. "Netta and Jim argued vociferously over the issue of free trade." - The word "vociferously" suggests a loud, intense, and passionate argument, which indicates a bias or strong emotions.
4. "Netta and Jim bickered over the issue of free trade." - The word "bickered" suggests a petty or trivial argument, indicating a possible bias.
Based on this analysis, sentence 2, "Netta and Jim expressed different views on free trade," is the most neutral sentence among the four options. Therefore, the correct answer is option a.
