Which term means prejudice; tendency; tilt?

• A. Obscure
• B. Innovate
• C. Heed
• D. Bias

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is recognizing a word that describes a leaning or prejudice. A bias is a prejudice or tilt—an inclination that colors judgment or perception, often without us realizing it. It can describe a general tendency or a specific favoritism that affects how we treat ideas, people, or data. That’s why bias is the best fit for “prejudice; tendency; tilt.”

Obscure refers to something not clear or hard to understand, which isn’t about leaning or prejudice. Innovate means to create something new, which is about invention rather than a leaning. Heed means to pay attention to or follow advice, which is about noticing and acting, not a stored preference.
