A source could be considered what if it is highly subjective and not balanced?

• A. subject
• B. evidence
• C. biased
• D. motivation

Answer: (C)

Assessing bias in sources is key when studying social studies. If a source is highly subjective and not balanced, it shows bias because it leans toward one viewpoint and pushes a particular interpretation rather than presenting a fair range of evidence. Such a source might omit opposing facts, frame events to favor a side, or use loaded language to influence how you think about the topic. Even though it can reveal a perspective, you should compare it with other sources to build a more complete understanding.

Other terms don’t fit as well: a subject is just what the material is about, not how balanced it is; evidence is the information used to support a claim, not the overall balance of the presentation; motivation is about why the author created the piece, which can lead to bias but doesn’t by itself describe the presentation quality.
