unwarranted implication

Explanation:

Unwarranted implication is when someone is alluding to a particular thing even though it's not been said directly.

Bias occurs when one is leaning towards a particular side in an argument.

Emotional appeal is when an individual is trying to gain favor of win an argument by manipulating the emotions of others.

Therefore, the answer above is an unwarranted implication.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
