Question

The restaurant opens for business at seven o’clock, and for the next hour or so, Elisa and the manager hold down the fort, handling all the orders. As the place starts to get busy, other employees arrive. Elisa works behind the counter. She takes orders and hands food to customers from breakfast through lunch.

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

Answer 1

Anecdotal — it’s a specific, personal example (Elisa’s experience) rather than statistics, expert testimony, or an analogy.
