The correct answer would be option A, Confirmation Bias.

At the same time, Fantasia ignores any evidence that people without blue eyes might display exceptionally creativity. This is called a Confirmation Bias.

Explanation:

When a person gives more importance to new evidence that supports his already existing belief, it is called as the Confirmation Bias.

In psychology, it is a tendency of a person to search and support for evidences in order to confirm his preconceptions.

When a person has a direct influence of his own desires on beliefs and concepts, confirmation bias is most likely to occur. It means that when people desire to have a certain idea or concept to be true, they end up believing it to be true.

Just given in the question, Fantasia believes that people with blue eyes are more creative than other people having any other eye color, and when she meets a person with blue eyes who is really creative, her belief gets stronger and she puts more importance to her evidence supporting her already existing belief. At the same time, she ignores any evidence that people without blue eyes might display exceptional creativity. This is the Confirmation Bias.

bulgar [2K]

Answer: The answer is not among the options.

Only 16 states and District of Columbia have enacted the law ( which is above half of the state).

Explanation: Voter registration (or enrollment) is the requirement that a person otherwise eligible to vote register (or enrol) on an electoral roll before they will be entitled or permitted to vote. When the registration is automatic, it means you can use any means of government-approved id for voting. Automatic Voters Registration makes voter registration “opt-out” instead of “opt-in”; eligible citizens who interact with government agencies are registered to vote or have their existing registration information updated unless they affirmatively decline. These are states that have enacted the law; Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia.

You must establish your voting residency address at least 30 days before Election Day.
