A. In my opinion, this article is impartial, because it is just a report of a crime, and do not have any emotional express.

Clive was under the constant impression that he had just emerged from unconsciousness because he had no evidence in his own mind of ever being awake before. . . . “I haven’t heard anything, seen anything, touched anything, smelled anything,” he would say. “It’s like being dead.” ” It shows how Deborah, Wearing’s wife views Mr Wearing. Thus, the description of Mr Wearing does not seem
