Which statement best shows the author's bias by overstatement

mylen [45]

Answer:

2. "Everyone in the United States supports the use of wind energy"

Explanation:

Option 2 is the best option the shows the author's bias by overstatement.

This is true because saying that "everyone in the United States supports the use of wind energy" is actually being bias in the sense that proper investigation wasn't made to come to that conclusion. Also, it's an overstatement because not everyone in the overall population of the United States will actually be in support of wind energy.

Wind energy may be more advantageous over fossil fuel yet not everyone in the United States will be in full support of it.

Therefore, Option 2 is the correct answer.
