Read the story and determine who is biased. Value: 4
Sierra, towering at an athletic 6 feet 2 inches, politely smiled and listened to the man's talking. He kept talking about her height. Then he asked, "do you play sports?"
She smiled and told him "Volleyball," with a smile in her voice.

"Not basketball?" he whined.

"Nope." In her head, Sierra could hear the teasing and bullying floating across the years. Everyone assumed she liked basketball when she was younger; when she was not good, they made fun of her.

"Every thought about it?"

"Not really, it's not my thing."

"Could I talk you into it? You would be great-you should really think about it. Volleyball is an okay sport, but really--"

Sierra tried to politely tell him no thank you. She knew he meant well and was flattered, he was the basketball coach. Yet, he would ask her every time they saw each other if she had changed her mind. Eventually, she purposefully avoided him.

[mark all correct answers]

a. Sierra is biased towards volleyball and does not like basketball due to the bullying she experienced when younger.
