The fact that most clearly suggests the account is biased is B. Mayor Quinn's speech was given to war veterans about a new memorial being built in their honor.
This detail indicates that the focus of her speech was not directly related to crime fighting, which could explain why she did not mention it. The bias in the account comes from the assumption that she should have addressed crime in a speech on a different topic.
