Question

Read the excerpt from "Address to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women” by Hillary Clinton.

In my country, we recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage. It took 150 years after the signing of our Declaration of Independence for women to win the right to vote. It took 72 years of organized struggle, before that happened, on the part of many courageous women and men. It was one of America’s most divisive philosophical wars. But it was a bloodless war. Suffrage was achieved without a shot being fired.

Which type of evidence does the speaker use?

fact
anecdote
experiment
testimonial

Answer 1

fact

The speaker cites historical facts and time spans (75th anniversary, 150 years after the Declaration, 72 years of organized struggle), not a personal story, experiment, or endorsement.
