A group of scientists have published a revolutionary discovery. They claim that they have invented a car engine that runs on wat
er instead of gasoline! Almost immediately afterward, a writer publishes an article attacking the scientists and claiming that their invention will never work. Which of the following, if true, would most likely suggest that the writer is biased?
The statement that is considered true that would likely suggest that the writer is biased is this: The writer owns a company that produces only gas-powered car <span>engines. When we say biased, this would typically mean a prejudice to show being in favor of something in an unfair manner. In this case, the writer here would say that the invention will most likely not work because he is threatened that it might cause a large decline of sales for his company that produces gas-powered car engines only.</span>
The answer is D. A tying contract forces <span>the buyer only on the condition that the buyer also purchases a different product from the same company. This ensures that the buyer gets what they want, but it could end up being twice the amount due to the unwanted item.</span>
