Question

Select the sentence that exhibits biased language. A. Being a waitress requires more skill than most people realize. B. Many pilots come to commercial airlines after having had military training. C. Her last two roommates were Chinese women. D. The mayor wants to put more police officers on foot patrol in this neighborhood.

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Many pilots come to commercial airlines after having had military training.

Explanation:

'Biased language' is demonstrated as the use of a language(words or phrases) that proposes a prejudiced or partial representation of an issue that excludes the other(people) or fails to consider them while reaching a conclusion or judgment. The authors are required to be unbiased and not include their personal opinions or perceptions while relating a text as it may hurt the sentiments of some groups.

In the given question, the option that exhibits a biased language is option B as it offers a prejudiced or biased conclusion 'many pilots come to commercial airlines after military training' which excludes the ones who do not join. Thus, it offers an unfair representation and hence, option B is the correct answer.
