Question

review the claim and the two pieces of evidence. looking at a persons face can reveal certain personality traits. evidence a: in a study published in the british journal of psychology, participants were asked to look at pictures of peoples faces and rate them on several personality traits. with some accuracy, participants determined how outgoing and hard - working each person was. evidence b: in a biography of political scientist edward beamly, beamly is quoted as saying, when my grandmother first saw my grandfather, she said he had the face of a kind and honest man. it turned out she was right. why is evidence a stronger than evidence b? evidence b is anecdotal. it represents just one persons impression of one other person. evidence b does not directly support the claim. it does not relate to the question of whether you can judge peoples personalities by their faces.

Explanation:

Evidence A is from a study, objective. Evidence B is a single - person anecdote, less reliable for general claim.

Answer:

Evidence B is anecdotal. It represents just one person's impression of one other person.
