Question

read the excerpt from fast food nation. english is now the second language of at least one - sixth of the nations restaurant workers, and about one - third of that group speaks no english at all. the proportion of fast food workers who cannot speak english is even higher. which type of evidence does the author use in this excerpt? ○ anecdotal ○ statistical ○ testimonial ○ analogical

Explanation:

The excerpt uses specific numerical proportions (one-sixth, one-third) to support its claim about restaurant workers' English proficiency, which is characteristic of statistical evidence. Anecdotal evidence relies on personal stories, testimonial on personal statements, and analogical on comparisons, none of which are present here.

Answer:

statistical
