Question

by definition, all maps are ____ because they ____ include all information about the world they represent. a. complete; must b. biased; cannot c. accurate; cannot d. accurate; can

Explanation:

Maps are representations of the real - world. Since the real - world is extremely complex, maps cannot include every single detail. When a mapmaker decides what information to include and what to leave out (for example, choosing to show major roads but not every single dirt path), this creates a bias. A complete map (option A) is impossible as they can't include all information. An accurate map (options C and D) in the sense of including all information is also not feasible. Maps are biased because the selection of information (what to show and what not to show) is a form of bias.

Answer:
