Read the excerpt from "Lady Liberty,"
The frame took more than two years to finish, and it
was hard for me to imagine the dedication required to
create such a magnificent structure. Papa said Eiffel
formed twelve thousand iron pieces to the exact
shape needed, and they fit together using seven
million nails. Thin sheets of Bartholdi's hammered
copper attached to Eiffel's frame. The copper's
thickness was about the same as two pennies, and,
combined with the frame, the pieces were one inch
thick. They let the statue sway in the wind and expand
and contract with heat or cold. It was designed so any
stress was shifted to the steel supports inside -
although the sea air did turn the copper surface to a
soft green tarnish

Explanation:

Objective language is language based on facts and logic. Subjective language is the opposite - it is based on the speaker's opinions, feelings, beliefs, and assumptions.

Most of the given excerpt from Lady Liberty is objective. The narrator tells us about how the Statue of Liberty was built - how long the entire process took, what materials were used, what effects were accomplished, etc.

The only sentence that contains subjective language is: The frame took more than two years to finish, and it was hard for me to imagine the dedication required to create such a magnificent structure. This is the only time the narrator expresses their personal feelings and opinion about the construction of the Statue. The underlined words are especially important as examples of subjective language.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
