Read the following passage: "Most people picture large, frightening events when they think of climate change: uncontrolled wildfires, severe storms, or deadly food and water shortages. Its small effects on the quiet normalcy of everyday life will be equally devastating, however. Research out today says we are at risk of losing coffee to climate change.

"Scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens warn that more than 60 percent of coffee species are in danger of extinction. Coffee is threatened because it has strict temperature and rainfall needs, and its habitat is shrinking due to shifting weather patterns and deforestation. Plant scientists say citizens, corporations, and lawmakers must act now to establish new forest preserves and protect fragile species and their environments.

"Climate change skeptics and industry spokesmen say these worries are overblown fear-mongering because most of the plants in trouble are wild species, not the farmed varieties used by coffee makers. The scientists respond that the wild species will be needed if the crops used now can’t cope with warmer and drier conditions and the spread of diseases and pests that are predicted."

What is an example of bias shown in the reading?

A. The case that coffee is threatened is given several paragraphs while the opposing point of view is described in a single sentence.

B. The article doesn’t contain any graphs or charts.

C. The author assumes that coffee is important to readers.

D. The article says "more than 60 percent" instead of using an exact number.

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the ÂŁ1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
