A.anecdotal
B.statistical
C.testimonial
D.analogical

Answer 1

Schlosser uses the testimonial evidence in the excerpt from the fast food nations.

Testimonial evidence refers to the proving or disapproving of different things. It is done through under oath and live witness which occurs through direct examination. Herein, the party cross question from a witness about the conflicts and problems in the evidence. Also, the jury hears and notes the live cross-examination.

Thus, in the above excerpt the sociologist Robin Leinder acts as a jurist who hears the points about what enables the company to power over their employees.

Answer 2

This is an example of C. testimonial evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Testimonial evidence does exactly what it implies. It testifies to a main point or argument.

In this case, the statement being proposed is below:

"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. "

And the testimonial is what sociologist, Robin Leider, writes below:

" 'When management determines exactly how every task is to be done . . . and can impose its own rules about pace, output, quality, and technique,' "

&

" '[it] makes workers increasingly interchangeable.' "
