The three that indicate bias in a text are:
1. **An overtly positive or negative tone toward the subject** - This suggests a subjective perspective that favors one side over another.
2. **The inclusion or exclusion of information** - Selectively presenting certain information while omitting others can skew the reader's understanding and reflect bias.
3. **Loaded words** - The use of emotionally charged language can influence the reader's perception and indicate a biased viewpoint.
The other options (lack of personal opinion and equal presentation of both sides) would generally indicate a more balanced or objective approach rather than bias.
