Question

Sunshine State Free Press Letter from the Editor Many Floridians are concerned about gun control. Some people believe that limiting access to firearms may make the nation safer. Others believe that this goes against their rights as Americans. What about a compromise? Keep all firearms, but add a new, large tax on ammunition. Which change to the article would show bias in favor of one side of the gun-control debate? "It is important that we reach a compromise!" "Many Floridians think that the gun-control issue is important to address." "Most people know that limiting access to firearms will make the nation safer." "Others believe that this goes against their constitutional rights as Americans."

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Most people know that limited access to firearms would make the nation safer.

The change to the article that would show bias in favor of one side of the gun-control debate is “Most people know that limited access to firearms would make the nation safer.”

When an argument is biased means that is partial and its not considered all the elements or points of view to make it objective. In the gun-control debate, there are two strong opinions in America. Those who do not want more control or restrictions, and those who want a better regulation on guns. The many incidents with firearms in schools of America have augmented the intensity of the debate because put at risk millions of children and young people in school and college campus.

Answer 2

I believe the answer would be "Most people know that limiting access to firearms will make the nation safer." because this is a quote that one side of the debate is talking about.

Hope this helps!!
