Which sentence from this newspaper editorial illustrates the author’s bias? Coal companies should follow regulations when they work mining excavations like mountaintop removal or pit mining. These rules exist to protect the environment, the natural beauty, and the wildlife of an area. They also protect the health and homes of the people who live near a mine.

Coal companies prefer excavation mining because it lets the companies employ fewer workers while maximizing output. The miners claim that a company can mine the entire coal lode more effectively, whereas shaft mining is less efficient and requires more workers. Coal companies claim the large scale of these projects is necessary to meet the growing demands of the United States and the rest of the world.

The mining sites are repaired by coal companies when they finish a project. They call this process "reclamation." The companies fill in the large holes and replace the topsoil. They plant trees and grasses. Many times, coal companies later sell this land to developers who build towns and urban centers.

Regulations include fees and fines for companies who do not follow environmental guidelines. The process of following regulations may cost the company money in terms of productivity, but the cost is always worth it. Companies can easily absorb these added costs because excavation mining creates huge profits.

alright, so here, the author clearly thinks that flooding the canyon was a bad idea and is showing bias against it.

the answer choice that best describes the point of view from which the story is told is the option b. the doctor tells the story from the first person point of view. this is true because in the story of "the siege of berlin" by daudet alphonse it seems like an anecdote but the doctor tells the story with some irony and some patriotic pathos, the doctor tells all that he saw as the attending physician and that makes the narration more realistic as a professional tells the facts and combines the narration with the elements in the story. it's no the option a because it is clear that the doctor tells the story even if at the beginning we start to read about an unnamed narrator who is talking about a visit to champs-elyseés in the company of the doctor. in this case, he is the character who opens the story and introduce the context to understand where the story begins and why that is when the doctor stops at a great corner house and tells the story of colonel and his granddaughter. it's not the option c because the colonel is not telling his story and what happened to him, it is the doctor's words of his appearance, his apoplexy and his life. and finally, it's not the option d, because in this story we can read just the point of view of the doctor as he is the one who told us the story of colonel and he describes the reaction of the girl not her point of view.
