  • In the article 'Komodo dragons have iron-coated teeth to rip apart prey, scientists find', there is a contradiction in the description of how Komodo dragons use their teeth. The sentence 'Komodo dragons use their sharp, serrated teeth to tear apart prey.' contradicts the earlier statement 'Iron in reptile teeth is a new discovery.'

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • In the article about Iran's arrests of suspects linked to suicide bombings, there is an instance of deceptive language. The statement 'Iranian authorities have arrested 11 people linked to Wednesday's bomb blasts in Kerman.' is deceptive because there is no evidence presented to support this claim.
  • In the article about the school bus and semi-truck crash in Illinois, there is an instance of deceptive language. The sentence 'The vehicles collided and were engulfed in flames after impact' implies that the collision was a direct cause of the fire, which may not be accurate.
