I don’t have the excerpt you mean — could you paste it here?
If you want to decide on your own, here’s a quick guide to the choices:
- examples: the passage shows samples or instances (e.g., several short passages of bad prose)
- quotations: it reproduces other writers’ or speakers’ words in quotes
- hypotheticals: it presents invented scenarios or “what if” situations
- statistics: it gives numerical data or percentages
In Orwell’s essay he often uses examples (samples of bad writing) and also sometimes quotations from writers/politicians. Paste the excerpt and I’ll pick the best option.
