Explanation:

The question asks for evidence of bias against the government. The statement about the USPS (a government - regulated agency) questioning its ability to be efficient and profitable implies a negative view of the government's regulation, which shows bias. The other options do not directly relate to bias against the government.

Answer:

Should we even expect the USPS, a government agency regulated by Congress, to be efficient and profitable? (paragraph 9)
