Dust clouds boiled up ten thousand feet or more in the sky,and rolled like moving mountains-a force of their own When the dust fell it penetrated everything: hair, nose throat, kitchen, bedroom well. __ The eeriest thing was the darkness.

The text with a more objective tone is the first one.
Explicação
## Step 1The task is to identify the text that has a more objective tone. Objective tone is characterized by factual, neutral, and unbiased language. It avoids personal opinions, emotional language, and subjective interpretations.## Step 2The first text provides factual information about dust storms during the 1930s, mentioning specific data about visibility and soil erosion. This text sticks to the facts and does not include any personal opinions or emotional language.## Step 3The second text, on the other hand, uses more descriptive and emotional language, such as "Dust clouds boiled up ten thousand feet or more in the sky," and "The eeriest thing was the darkness." This text is more subjective and emotional, which is not characteristic of an objective tone.
