Answer 1

The method a historian would use when considering an author's feelings or actions that favor one thing over another is referred to as **bias**. Bias involves evaluating how an author's personal beliefs, experiences, or societal influences might shape their perspective and interpretation of events. By recognizing bias, historians can critically analyze the reliability of sources and understand how an author's point of view may affect their portrayal of historical events.
