Question 28 • English IV

Which sentence from the excerpt most signals bias?

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

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.
