4. Subjective

5. Subjective

Explanation:

An objective statement is one that can be proven with further research. It states a fact, or a claim that can be proven with evidence. The first two statements are of this kind, as they provide facts. A subjective statement, on the other hand, is one that can be considered an opinion, or a particular point of view, and that cannot be proven right or wrong. The last three statements belong to this category.
