Read the excerpt from fast food nation. english is now the second language of at least one-sixth of the nation’s restaurant workers, and about one-third of that group speaks no english at all. the proportion of fast food workers who cannot speak english is even higher. which type of evidence does the author use in this excerpt?
(a) anecdotal
(b) statistical
(c) testimonial
(d) analogical

The correct answer is (B) Statistical

Explanation:

Statistical evidence focuses on proving a claim or assertion by using numerical information especially in terms of percentages or information that explains proportions from a broader population.

In the excerpt from Fast Food Nations, this type of evidence is used because the author includes details such as "one-sixth of the nation’s restaurant workers, and about one-third of that group speaks no English at all" that refers to proportions or percentages to support his/her ideas about the workers hired in fast-food restaurants and their origin or languages they speak.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
