Read the following passage: "Most people picture large, frightening events when they think of climate change: uncontrolled wildfires, severe storms, or deadly food and water shortages. Its small effects on the quiet normalcy of everyday life will be equally devastating, however. Research out today says we are at risk of losing coffee to climate change.

"Scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens warn that more than 60 percent of coffee species are in danger of extinction. Coffee is threatened because it has strict temperature and rainfall needs, and its habitat is shrinking due to shifting weather patterns and deforestation. Plant scientists say citizens, corporations, and lawmakers must act now to establish new forest preserves and protect fragile species and their environments.

"Climate change skeptics and industry spokesmen say these worries are overblown fear-mongering because most of the plants in trouble are wild species, not the farmed varieties used by coffee makers. The scientists respond that the wild species will be needed if the crops used now can’t cope with warmer and drier conditions and the spread of diseases and pests that are predicted."

What is an example of bias shown in the reading?

A. The case that coffee is threatened is given several paragraphs while the opposing point of view is described in a single sentence.

B. The article doesn’t contain any graphs or charts.

C. The author assumes that coffee is important to readers.

D. The article says "more than 60 percent" instead of using an exact number.
