Question

While attending a town hall meeting, you hear someone from a national energy company argue that a new natural gas drill site will not be environmentally damaging and will produce many jobs in the community. Which aspect should you most consider when listening to this position

Answer 1

Bias

Step-by-step explanation:

The person in question probably has a bias towards installing a drill site because they come from a company that profits from this.

Answer 2

First it is important to take note of where this information is coming from. The speaker is a representative of the national energy company and therefore will likely not speak poorly of the results of the natural gas project. Then it would be important to fact check his or her claims against other sources and evidence.
