Answer:

"Bias can be defined as an inclination of temperament or outlook, especially a personal and sometimes unreasoned judgment—i.e., prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair—for example, an overgeneralization.

Prejudice (prae=previous; judicum=judgment) can be defined as a preconceived judgment or opinion; an adverse opinion or leaning without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge; or an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, group, a race, or their supposed characteristics.

Prejudice means you judge someone by a something general about them. Like race or gender. Bias means someone leans towards something. For example when discussing food someone is likely to favor foods they like.

How might an empire oppress the region? How would the empire harm you as a merchant?

Makovka662 [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options or any specific region or reference included, we can say the following.

An empire can oppress a region in that the Emperor can exert total power and control over the conquered territories and their people. When an empire conquers other nations, the Emperor orders to exploit all the raw materials and natural resources so he can get richer. Many times, subjects had to pay heavy taxation and had no liberties. They had to completely obey the Emperor's demands.

Of course, the empire would harm merchants in that it was the King or the Emperor, who benefited the most with the taxation charged on trade transactions. Or merchants had to pay a specific amount as tribute so merchants could do their work.
