He would never steal.3 Haley: Right, because you wouldn’t say anything at all to defend your best friend. Kenneth: I wouldn’t! Haley: You’re a guy, Kenneth. All boys stick together. It’s a part of your code or something.4 Kenneth: Now you’re just being unreasonable. I guess you can’t help it. You’re young after all.5 Haley: You’re one month older than me! What type of biased language can be found in Line 2? a. gender b. religion c. ethnicity d. race

Answer 1

b. religion

Note that in Line 2, it states: Kenneth: What? Francis wouldn’t do that! He always splits the tips between the wait staff fairly. Besides he’s Catholic. He would never steal.

Since he says Catholic (a type of religion), and using Catholic as the reason that Francis wouldn't steal, he is implying that "All Catholic's don't steal", which is a biased statement.


hope this helps

Answer 2

Hello.

The answer is B. Relgion.

He is biased becasue Francis is a chathloic and would steal.

It doesnt bring up what gender they are and it doesnt talk about there race or ethnictiy in line 2 or in the passage. And there assuming he wouldnt steal.

Have a nice day
