Which of the following is an example of a biased source?

Answer
A
a primarily fact-based article for an academic journal
B
a debate that presents both sides of a controversial issue
C
an editorial that only gives the writer’s opinion on a timely topic
D
an article with quotations from diverse thinkers on a political issue

Explanation

A biased source presents information from a particular point of view rather than aiming for a balanced account. An editorial that only gives the writer’s opinion on a timely topic is therefore the clearest example of a biased source. The other choices suggest fact-based reporting or multiple perspectives.
