Answer 1

The two statements that might be included as examples of anecdotal evidence are:

1. Most residents of Ellettsville—an unincorporated community of 580 people not far from here—still rely on their local libraries for Internet access.
2. 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.

These statements provide specific personal or community experiences that illustrate the broader issue of Internet access, which is characteristic of anecdotal evidence.
