Answer: Confirmation bias

Explanation:

If all the sources Felix has collected support his claim, it means that he has ignored any accounts that might contradict his claim.

Confirmation bias refers to the inclination to only consider the information that supports the claim one wants to defend while avoiding the information that could invalidate it.

To ensure his research is not biased, Felix should acknowledge sources that contradict his claim.

Explanation:

Adjectives are words we use to modify (describe) nouns. Adverbs are words we use to modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. From both of these parts of speech, we can create forms called comparative and superlative.

The comparative is a form used to compare two entities (or groups of entities), and the superlative is a form used to compare three or more entities and express that something has a quality or performs an action to the greatest or least degree.
