Leandro Singleton · Answer 1

The second statement is subjective.

Explanation:

The second statement expresses the subjective tone of the speaker through the modal will. The speaker has set a prediction but without a sound condition. Therefore, this statement may sound as an opinion. This can be parapharsed: " I think the students will learn more ..."

Homer · Answer 2

The students in that school will learn more in class because of that rule.

Explanation:

This is a subjective statement, as we do not have evidence to suggest whether this is right or wrong. Moreover, the statement presents several problems, such as that of defining how we can measure what "learning more" means. On the other hand, the first statement is objective, as we can easily prove whether it is true or not that the principal implemented that rule.
