Arun is researching a new grapefruit-and-avocado diet. He has found information about the doctor who came up with the diet program, three people currently on the diet, and a woman who lost 50 pounds in one month using the program.

Which of these sources would most likely provide balance and credibility to the news report?

A person for whom the grapefruit-and-avocado diet did not work
Several people who belong to a dieting support group and are losing weight
A doctor who runs a competitor's weight-loss management program
Three people who plan to lose weight through extensive exercise

To even out the sense of bias it would be optimal to add in “a person for whom the grapefruit-and-avocado diet did not work” as a counterclaim so the readers can view both sides of the claim.
