Question
Which of the following excerpts from Carr's article is an example of empirical
evidence?
A. They found that people using the sites exhibited "a form of
skimming activity," hopping from one source to another and rarely
returning to any source they'd already visited.
B. "I can't read War and Peace anymore," he admitted. "I've lost the
ability to do that. Even a blog post of more than three or four
paragraphs is too much to absorb. I skim it."
C. My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net
distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a
scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a
guy on a Jet Ski.
D. Others argued that cheaply printed books and broadsheets would
undermine religious authority, demean the work of scholars and
scribes, and spread sedition and debauchery.
