Subjective claims, in short are opinions or claims based on one's own feelings or beliefs of whether or not it is true or not. Take religion for example. There are many different religious view in the world, but one can't say that any of them are fact. "When you die, you go to heaven or hell." This claim could absolutely pertain to many people's own personal religious view, but at the same time could clash against other's. Take reincarnation for example, which is a widely accepted belief strongly engrained in Buddhist or Hindu belief, that directly challenges the claim of when you die you go to heaven, thus making the claim subjective.
Objective claims on the other hands are statements that can either be true or false, but not both at the same time. It is generally something everyone agrees on. I overheard my little cousin the other day practicing his addition. "5+17 is 22" "13+7 is 20". Luckily for him, these statements were correct and something everyone would agree on.
