Question 19 • English IV

Which sentence from the excerpt best signals the writer’s bias?

Answer
A
Additionally, Laincher Research concluded that 80% of parents say their children under the age of 11 have screen time daily.
B
Star City University found that children between 8 and 10 years old spend more time on technology than they do at school.
C
Truthfully, however, in this technology-driven world, computers are sometimes needed to communicate and complete schoolwork.
D
Mobile phones can only harm our children, not help, them so please join me in banning cell phones for children under the age of 15.

Explanation

Choice D most clearly signals bias because it makes an absolute claim—“can only harm”—and urges readers to support a ban. That strongly persuasive language reveals the writer’s opinion rather than presenting information neutrally. The other choices mainly report research or acknowledge that technology can be useful.
