Question

question 4
which of the following statements displays the speaker’s unfair bias?
“i’m voting for measure 5642 because it will give my family a tax break.”
“i’m voting for measure 5642 because it will balance the city’s budget.”
“i’m voting for measure 5642 because it will create new jobs.”
“i’m voting for measure 5642 because it will improve our schools.”

Explanation:

To determine unfair bias, we analyze each option:

• The first statement ("I'm voting for Measure 5642 because it will give my family a tax break") is based on personal gain (family tax break) rather than the broader public good.
• The other options (balancing city budget, creating jobs, improving schools) are reasons that benefit the community at large, not just a personal interest group. So the first statement shows unfair bias as it prioritizes individual/family benefit over public welfare.

Answer:

A. "I'm voting for Measure 5642 because it will give my family a tax break."
