Question 13 • RKAA- Second Semester Civics and Citizenship 0.5 New

Lenora is researching an environmental problem. She finds four articles about the issue. Which article title includes biased language?

Answer
A
“Recycling Rates Have Not Increased in Recent Years”
B
“California Bans Retail Stores from Providing Plastic Bags”
C
“Public Worries about Plastic Pollution Are Ridiculous”
D
“Marine Mammal Population Reduced by Pollution”

Explanation

Biased language expresses a strong opinion rather than presenting information neutrally. Calling public worries about plastic pollution “ridiculous” is dismissive and judgmental, so “Public Worries about Plastic Pollution Are Ridiculous” is the biased title. The other titles describe trends, a policy, or an effect without using similarly loaded language.
