A company claims that its weight-loss product is the safest. Why might this be a biased claim? A. The company is very successful. B. The company has lots of scientific information about the product. C. The company is trying to get you to buy its product. D. The company has studied the product more than anyone.

The company is likely to be biased in its claim because its primary goal is to sell the product. Marketing often emphasizes positive aspects while downplaying potential risks or side effects. When profit is at stake, objectivity can take a back seat. Additionally, the presence of scientific information does not inherently mean a product is safe or effective. Companies can cherry-pick data or present results in a way that supports their claims while ignoring contrary evidence. Always look for independent reviews and studies to get a fuller picture!
