Question

which of the following statements displays the speaker’s unfair bias?
a.) \i think katie will make a good student body president because she knows how to get things done.\
b.) \katie should be student body president because she cares deeply about every student’s success.\
c.) \vote for katie for student body president because she has a lot of experience in student government\
d.) \i’m voting for katie for student body president because she’s friends with my older sister.\

Explanation:

Unfair bias here means supporting a candidate for a non-relevant, non-qualification-based reason. Options a, b, and c cite Katie's relevant skills, care for students, and experience—all valid, job-related reasons. Option d bases the vote solely on a personal connection (friendship with the speaker's sister), which is an unfair, unqualified reason.

Answer:

d.) "I'm voting for Katie for student body president because she's friends with my older sister."
