word bank: bias, inferential, literal, factual

Explanation:

1. For the first definition ("the inclination, feeling, opinion or disproportionate weight in favor of or against an idea or thing"), the term is "bias" as bias refers to such a tendency or prejudice.
2. For the second definition ("the use of words solely by the defined or primary meaning"), the term is "literal" as literal language uses words in their basic, defined sense.
3. For the third definition ("conclusion reached based on evidence and reasoning"), the term is "inferential" as inferential means drawing conclusions from evidence and reasoning.
4. For the fourth definition ("piece of information known or proved to be true, rather than interpretations of information"), the term is "factual" as factual refers to information that is true and proven.

1. The first box: bias
