Question

review the claim and the two pieces of evidence. people who choose to have fewer belongings are happier than those who have a lot. evidence a: according to a study on minimalism, people who limit their possessions are more satisfied with their lives than people who have more. the study also revealed that minimalists experience positive emotions more often than average americans do. evidence b: a blogger writes that her life is richer now that she has given away many of her possessions. she goes on to say, \possessions tend to weigh you down and prevent you from living the best life you can possibly live.\ why is evidence a stronger than evidence b? evidence b does not directly support the claim. it does not show how possessions can have an effect on happiness. evidence b is anecdotal. it represents the experience of only one person.

Explanation:

Evidence A is from a study, providing more objective and general - applicable data. Evidence B is just one blogger's personal experience, which is anecdotal and less reliable for generalizing the claim.

Answer:

Evidence B is anecdotal. It represents the experience of only one person.
