Question

Read the excerpt.

In a recent study, 70% of teens reported that they check their phones as soon as they get up in the morning. When teenagers start their day by looking at a screen, it only gets worse from there. Evidence shows that excessive screen time causes behavioral issues and interrupted sleep, two things that can have a huge impact on how teens do in school. Therefore, the only solution is to take phones away from teenagers.

Which statement best shows an example of bias?

Answer 1

"Therefore, the only solution is to take phones away from teenagers.”

This statement shows clear bias — it uses absolute language ("the only solution") and jumps from evidence to a single prescriptive answer without considering alternatives or nuance.
