Which is the best definition for bias in history?
inna [77]
The opinions and prejudice of an author in writing.

I believe that those two elements greatly affect bias in history because we can never be 100% sure of everything that (may have) happened in history (especially farther in the past), so opinion can affect a historian's writings. Also, everyone is prone to some sort of prejudice, so this can also affect history.

masya89 [10]

The correct answer is - d. deciduous forest.

The giant panda lives in the deciduous forested parts of China were the climate is temperate, wet, moisty, and most importantly covered in bamboo trees. The bamboo tree is the only food source of the giant pandas, and it is essential for their survival. Unlike the other bears the giant panda is not an omnivore, and in its evolution due to a genetic mutation it lost its taste for meat and became exclusively a bamboo eater. It is on the verge of extinction nowadays and strict measures are needed for this lovely animal to be protected and preserved.
