Read the following excerpt from Captain John Smith, a trade book written during the early 1900s. In the excerpt below, Smith has just been captured by Powhatan's men. As you read, think about how the author presents Smith. Smith, whose presence of mind never deserted him, immediately addressed himself to the task of diverting the chieftain’s mind from the recent unpleasant circumstances and with that end in view produced his pocket compass and presented it to the savage.
How could the author have been more objective about Smith in this excerpt?

He could have included information about Smith's hopes and fears.

He could have included less details about how Smith tricked the chief.

He could have left out information about Smith's presence of mind.

He could have added information about how Smith planned to free himself.
