Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing  
Sample Answer:  
Bias appears in the passage when the writer only shares positive opinions about the sports club and ignores important details like high membership costs. For example, calling it “the most amazing sports club ever” shows a strong personal opinion. Similarly, if someone says “this is the best school in the city” without comparing facts, it is biased. Identifying bias helps readers think critically and understand whether the information is fair and complete.
