What are the two best reasons for a writer to provide anecdotes when making a claim in an argumentative text? Anecdotes are used as a way to support an argument with data.
Anecdotes can be used as evidence to support an argument.
Anecdotes can never be rebutted by a person making a counterargument.
Anecdotes are more convincing than allusions in an argument.
Anecdotes can provide emotion and make the argument more compelling

I believe the two best reasons here are:

“Anecdotes are used as a way to support and argument with data.”

And

“Anecdotes can provide emotion and make the argument more compelling.”

the correct answer is "(13) “they take a term that sounds really wonderful, but genetic engineering is genetic engineering is genetic engineering,” ms. tencer said. “it is not something farmers want. it is not something consumers want. i don’t think it is a very viable concept.” by explicitly stating that farmers or consumers do not want genetic engineering to produce their food the existence of opposition towards genetically modified organisms is presented. also, it is worth mentioning that ms. tender is the executive director of the organic farming research foundation in santa cruz, ca as stated in evidence 12, which supports her statement presented in evidence 13.
