Which term means unbiased; neutral?

• A. Ubiquitous
• B. Impartial
• C. Bias
• D. Denounce

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is finding a word that means fair and not taking sides. The best fit is impartial, which describes someone who doesn’t let personal feelings or outside pressures influence their judgment and who treats all sides fairly. Ubiquitous means present everywhere, which has nothing to do with fairness. Bias refers to a predisposition or prejudice in favor of or against something, the opposite of being impartial. Denounce means to condemn or criticize strongly, which also isn’t about fairness in judgment. In use: a juror should be impartial when evaluating evidence.
