Avg score: 90% • Most missed: “Which of the following statements shows bias?”

Basically, 'bias' expresses the difference between fact and opinion. But texts are not always so simple - writers can make a highly-opinionated piece appear factual, or can choose to present facts and statistics in a selective, biased manner. Learning to spot bias will make you a careful, critical reader.
