Question 23 • English IV

Which sentence from the excerpt most signals bias?

Answer
A
Researchers found that felines have no attachments to their owners and are inherently independent creatures.
B
Dogs have instincts ingrained in them to protect their owners.
C
For example, a cat will rub against its owner not to express loving feelings, but rather, to mark its territory.
D
Canines are vastly superior to their feline counterparts.

Explanation

“Canines are vastly superior to their feline counterparts” is the most biased sentence because it makes a strongly judgmental comparison rather than presenting a neutral fact. The words “vastly superior” clearly favor dogs and look down on cats. The other choices may make questionable claims, but D expresses the clearest opinion.
