| "Can't anyone see what a tragedy it would be to let the power plant open in this neighborhood?" |

This sentence demonstrates assumptions and bias because it does not contain any explanations as to why their opinion is that way. There are no facts to show why the power plant would be tragic if it opened.

You could also say the answer is D. However, that sentence has more reasoning with it as how they could make a difference in education.

If this is wrong, I apologize!
