## Step 1<br />The problem asks us to identify the text that has a more objective tone. Objective tone is characterized by factual, unbiased, and neutral language. It avoids personal opinions, emotional language, and subjective interpretations.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The first text provides factual information about the Sierra Nevada's geographical extent and width. It describes the Sierra Nevada's location, its width at different points, and its eastern margin. The language used is neutral and factual, which is characteristic of an objective tone.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The second text, on the other hand, uses more subjective and emotional language. It describes the Sierra Nevada as "mighty", "smooth", "cumulous", "gloriously colored", and "luminous". These descriptions are not purely factual but are subjective interpretations of the Sierra Nevada's appearance.
