Look at the five sentences below. they are all about the same topic. by comparing them, which sentence would you conclude to be biased? 1roughly ten illegal immigrants are caught at the border each day. 2in ten days, about one hundred illegal immigrants were stopped at the border. 3says agent radcliffe, "at my post, less than fifteen illegal immigrants are caught daily." 4a ridiculously high number of illegal immigrants are caught at the border every day. 5the border patrol estimates that about ten illegal immigrants are caught at the border each day, for everyone caught, the bp estimates that six get away.

4- A ridiculously high number of illegal immigrants are caught at the border every day.

Explanation:

Remember that something that is biased is showing unreasonable like or dislike for something based on personal opinion, in other words, it tends to be subjective. In this case, all sentences, except the number 4, are telling us facts. They present the information as they found it, without any emotional charge, they limit themselves to present the data and information given by authorities. The fourth sentence uses the word "ridiculously" which shows us that the author has already taken a position towards the issue, the authors think that the amount of immigrants caught is unreasonable high, expressing an opinion.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
