A Look at the Fast-Food Industry by Eric Schlosser — Quiz

Question 6 • TPS EdX English Language Arts 11

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation . The strict regimentation at fast food restaurants creates standardized products. It increases the throughput. And it gives fast food companies an enormous amount of power over their employees. “When management determines exactly how every task is to be done . . . and can impose its own rules about pace, output, quality, and technique,” the sociologist Robin Leidner has noted, “[it] makes workers increasingly interchangeable.” Which type of evidence is Schlosser using in this excerpt?

Answer
A
statistical
B
testimonial
C
analogical
D
anecdotal

Explanation

Schlosser supports his point by quoting sociologist Robin Leidner, who offers an expert observation about how management controls workers. Evidence based on someone’s quoted statement or testimony is testimonial evidence. It is not statistical evidence because no numerical data are given.
