Question
A student is writing an argument in favor of making Internet service a public utility. Which statement might the student include as an example of anecdotal evidence? Select the two correct answers.
Nancy Chee, a resident of the Navajo Nation, is unable to stream media to her devices because her only Internet access is through a landline.
Most residents of Ellettsville, an unincorporated community of 580 people not far from here, still rely on their local libraries for Internet access.
The FCC's short-term goal for high-speed Internet access is 100 Mbps per 1,000 students/staff; one in two students attends a school that falls short of that.
The majority of Americans who are underserved in broadband Internet access are people of color or belong to other marginalized communities.
Like 41 percent of all Americans living on tribal lands, Bernard Nez has no access to broadband Internet because of inadequate infrastructure.

The two statements that the student might include as examples of anecdotal evidence are:
1. **Nancy Chee, a resident of the Navajo Nation, is unable to stream media to her devices because her only Internet access is through a landline.**
This statement provides a specific individual’s experience to illustrate the broader issue of inadequate Internet access.
2. **Like 41 percent of all Americans living on tribal lands, Bernard Nez has no access to broadband Internet because of inadequate infrastructure.**
Similar to the first, this statement highlights the personal experience of an individual, Bernard Nez, to exemplify the challenges faced by many in a specific demographic group.
These examples rely on individual experiences to support the argument, which is characteristic of anecdotal evidence.
