Question
You won’t believe how easy it is for burglars to break into your home!!!
If you don’t have a security system for your house, then you, your family, and all of your valuable possessions are at risk. Home invasions affect 12% of Americans each year—don’t be one of them! If your things go missing, dealing with insurance companies is a hassle and they may not even reimburse you. And if anything were to happen to you or your family during a home invasion, there’s no reimbursement in the world that could make up for your suffering.
With a SafeHouse™ security system, burglars, kidnappers, and home invaders will be scared off by a loud sound and the police will be summoned to your house immediately. There’s no such thing as a false alarm—unless you go with a low-quality brand of security system.

The two correct answers to reduce bias in the passage are:
1. **presenting positive and negative aspects of multiple products** - This would provide a more balanced view and allow readers to make informed decisions based on comparisons rather than a one-sided perspective.
2. **rewriting the headline to remove exclamation points** - This would create a more neutral tone in the passage, potentially reducing emotional appeal and exaggerated urgency.
The other options either do not effectively reduce bias or would not contribute to a more objective tone.
