Answer 1

You have done well here.  Subjective is based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, and opinions.   Answer D refers to insights and impulses that are unique to each person, making it personal.  In #2, wording in the sentence such as joyfulling, sunny, and kicking up their heels are all positive words.  Answer choices A, C, and D are all negative wording.  B is the correct choice.  Great job!
