Question

which headline best avoids biased language? hometown team blows another chance for victory local team loses fifth straight match home team makes brave showing in loss

Explanation:

To avoid biased language, a headline should be neutral and factual. "Hometown Team Blows Another Chance for Victory" uses "blows" which has a negative connotation. "Home Team Makes Brave Showing in Loss" uses "brave" which is a subjective, positive judgment. "Local Team Loses Fifth Straight Match" simply states the fact of the team losing five matches in a row without adding subjective or emotionally charged language.

Answer:

B. Local Team Loses Fifth Straight Match
