Enzo’s grandmother has warned him not to go outside while his hair is wet. She tells him that he will catch a cold just like she caught a cold when she went outside with her hair wet.What type of statement is Enzo’s grandmother using?

Her grandmother is using one personal experience—getting a cold after going outside with wet hair—to support her warning. That observation alone does not establish that wet hair causes a cold; colds are caused by viruses. The advice is based on a personal belief rather than scientific evidence, so choice D, “considered pseudoscience because her advice involves an opinion,” is the best answer.
