Question

Which statement shows bias?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. It's great that so many young girls can have successful careers as nurses.

Explanation:

Bias statements focus on personal opinions rather than facts or reality. Due to this, a bias statement supports a specific point of view and due to this can be incorrect. An example of a bias statement is " It's great that so many young girls can have successful careers as nurses" because in this sentence the author expresses his point of view about being a nurse. This personal perspective is showed through the word "great". Also, through this statement, the speaker suggests this career is mainly for girls, which is not only a personal opinion but an incorrect statement.
