Answer 2

Based on the given information, it is not possible to determine whether the author has shown bias or not. The fact that the article mentions that the school board has increased funding for STEM education is not enough to conclude whether the author has shown bias or not. It is also unclear whether the author has mixed fact and opinion or misused or misinterpreted facts. The use of a photograph is not enough to determine bias either. To evaluate an article for bias, it is necessary to analyze the language, tone, and other elements of the article that may indicate the author's perspective or agenda.
