Question

A scientist who works for a

company that makes products
from plants publishes a paper
on energy efficiency. They
claim that converting corn to
ethanol is more efficient than
solar power. Describe their
possible bias.

Answer 1

Considering he works at a place that makes stuff out of plants, he seems to be alluring to promoting his company. Therefore, he is biased by advertising for something his company specializes in doing. He also has more insight into plant based products rather than solar power, so he knows more about what plant based products can do as opposed to solar power.
