Question

multiple choice question
statistics are similar to ______ in that they are often cited in passing to clarify or strengthen a speakers point.

○ visual narratives

○ brief examples

○ hypothetical examples

○ extended examples

Explanation:

Statistics are often referenced quickly in a speech to support a point, without extensive elaboration. Brief examples share this trait: they are cited concisely to clarify or strengthen an argument, rather than being explored in depth. Visual narratives rely on visual storytelling, hypothetical examples are fictional, and extended examples are detailed and lengthy, which do not match the "cited in passing" characteristic described.

Answer:

brief examples
