The correct answer is: a. Bias is an opinion that favors one point of view.
When a theorist or researcher displays bias in her/her work, he/she favors one point of view, while disregarding other points of view that might be valid and relevant.

In this instance, the scientists is favoring one point of view, while dismissing other factors that are also relevant to the issue at hand.

Answer:
C. He is very concerned about maintaining an appearance of financial good standing within his community.
Explanation:
Mr . Pontellier is interested in appearances. His wife, Edna, wants a different life from the one she is having with her husband. However, Mr. Pontellier is more concerned about other people's opinions than about his wife 's feelings. In fact, he is a business man and wants to keep to a good imagine of his financial status. This is evident when Edna is away from home because she is looking for new adventures. However, Mr. Pontellier does not care about his wife's true reasons; he just wants people to think that she has not gone away because of financial problems.

If this is a in depth paper about revenge then you have several ways you can go. Depending on if you are writing about whether revenge is good or not depends on how you tackle the thesis statement issue. Remember that the thesis is at the end of the paper and what you put in that last sentence helps you form the body of your paper.
Example: revenge as being a bad thing:
Throughout life people will hurt us emotionally and sometimes physically. Thesis statement: it is quite natural for one to seek revenge, however; it is not the best solution because an innocent person could get hurt if they accidently get in the way, it is not good for your health, and finally, _____________. Fill in the blank. Make sure that when you do create a thesis that you have good sources to back the statements. Since this is just an example I gave I don't have evidence to back my statement.
I just gave one example because I quite honestly cannot think of how revenge is good for someone.
Hopefully this helped and good luck.
