Question

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation.

Unlike Olympic gymnastics—an activity in which teenagers consistently perform at a higher level than adults—there’s nothing about the work in a fast food kitchen that requires young employees.

Which type of evidence does the author use in this excerpt?
anecdotal
statistical
testimonial
analogical

Answer 1

Analogical — the author uses a comparison (gymnastics vs. fast-food work) to make a point.
