Resident Two is correct.

If you or someone you know works for a company you're being asked questions about, you would already have your own opinion on it. For example: My older sister works at a Subway restaurant - I was planning on applying as well. However, she told me all the bad things about working there instead of the good things. There was a co-worker who had lice, others stole from other people, there was a co-worker who literally showed her "boyfriends" pictures (if you know what I mean) to someone under-aged. She also was bragging about how she has a lot of STI's (she never washed her hands after going to the bathroom, never wore gloves when preparing food, etc.). So, I decided not to apply even though there was so many good things about the job I was never told about. With that being said, before even working there, I already had a bias. That's why Resident Two is the correct answer. He/she didn't have a bias on the topic because they never had any interactions with it.

Hope this helps!

Hoped you enjoyed that little story as well :)
