Question 8 • English 10

What is the definition of anecdotal evidence?

Answer
A
Anecdotal evidence is evidence based on historical examples and events.
B
Anecdotal evidence is evidence that is based on accepted truths, facts, and definitions.
C
Anecdotal evidence is evidence that is based on scientific research, experiments, and observation.
D
Anecdotal evidence is evidence that is based on personal experience or short narratives.

Explanation

Anecdotal evidence comes from individual experiences or brief stories rather than systematic research. For example, one person’s account of a product working for them is anecdotal evidence, but it does not by itself prove that the product works generally. The correct choice is “evidence that is based on personal experience or short narratives.”
