Last fall, Mrs. Jamison hired Jason, a local boy who happens to be very tall, to do some yard work around her property. Jason did an excellent job, but he's gone off to college. So this fall Mrs. Jamison's decided to hire another tall local boy, whom she's sure will do just as good a job. A couple of shorter boys and one neighbor girl (who's also short) wanted to work for her, but she didn't think they would do.

a.

b.

She's biased in favor of college kids.

c.

She's biased against her neighbor.

d.
