Answer:

Confirmation Bias

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is a deep seated tendency to prefer information that confirms our existing positions. The human  understanding when it has once adopted an opinion draws all things else to support and agree with it. And though there is a greater number and weight of instances to be found not true, he either neglects, despises or rejects in order that by this great and pernicious determination the authority of its conclusions may remain inviolate. Confirmation bias is found to be important because it may lead people to hold strongly to false beliefs or give more weight to information that supports their beliefs than is warranted by evidences. This biased approach is largely unintentional and often results in ignoring inconsistent information

This is a well known psychological tendency

Causes of American Revolution
salantis [7]

The following are the correct answers

1) Thomas Paine's pamphlet, "Common Sense" inspired many colonists that independence from Great Britain was necessary.- Thomas Paine's famous pamphlet outlined several arguments as to why the colonists would be better off if they were not associated with Great Britain.

2)The Sons and Daughters of Liberty were a secret group formed in response to the new taxes placed on the American colonists.- The formation of these groups was driven by the idea that the American colonists should have representation in the English parliament.

The average family in the country of Luxembourg, has 2 children. In 2016 a study showed that 32.2 homes had two children, while 155 households had no children.
