Answer:

The correct answer is A. Skillful.

Explanation:

The word "dexterous" is an adjective whose meaning implies that a person has, with respect to a certain topic, not only a complete and punctual knowledge, but also a vast experience in the handling of said knowledge, and the ability to apply said knowledge and said experience through mechanisms of action that allow to master the question without major difficulties. In short, the person who has absolute control over some subject or question is dexterous.

lina2011 [118]

Answer: Misjudged.

Explanation: When a person first meets another person, it's a human trait to instantly have first impressions, like " wow that's one ugly shirt " or " wow I feel like I could have known this guy all my life ", and while there's nothing wrong with that, it's important to keep ourselves in check, walking the fine line of being judgemental, and being fair, giving them the benefit of the doubt, it's all well worth doing.

I started freestyle skating when I was 12 to 13, ( a fancy way of saying I wasn't professionally taught and did not/do not play hockey ) and  skipping forward several years, and I had become decently proficiant at it, skating more then once a week every week, and I felt pretty good about myself, until I moved. I decided to find a local rink, and go skating, obviously. When I first got on, I was a bit clumsy after being a bit rusty, but I still felt good. I then fell. Hard. I looked around from my vantage point on the ground, and, to my horror, there was a group of 4 or 5 guys, about my age, laughing and pointing at me. I felt very embarrassed, I instantly decided that I really disliked all of them and, a few days later while skating, I met one of them. He was literally one of the nicest guys I've met, and I was in total shock, I was sure he was gonna be rather cruel, but no, I let all my preconcieved notions run wild. He's still an awesome friend.

Which of the following is a statement of unbiased fact?
forsale [732]

Answer:

A.the states with the largest hispanic population are located in the southwest

Explanation:

Fact is something that is true, can be objectively checked, verified and proved.

Bias is an inclination in favor or against somone or something, based on personal opinions. It is, basically, supporting or opposing one's side in an argument or decision makings due to some subjective, often untrue, reasons.

Answer B. is an opinion; whenever there is "should" in a sentence, it can't be a fact. However, if this opinion comes from an English-speaking person, it can be considered bias because he supports English becoming official language because he speaks it.

Answer C. is also an opinion. Similarly, to the previous case, it can be considered a bias if the person expressing this opinion supports farmers and construction workers die to some personal reasons, rather than objective ones.

Answer D is also an opinion and again can be regarded as a bias if the person expressing it has some personal involvement with the Latinoamericans.

Only answer A. states a fact that can be checked objectively (in census results in these states, for example)
