UkoKoshka [18]1 year ago

The evidence in passage 2 is more convincing because it is rational and supported by anecdotes. The correct option is D.

<h3>What are anecdotes?</h3>

A brief entertaining or intriguing narrative concerning a true event or person is referred to as anecdotes.

An anecdote is a brief narrative or account of a person or event that is usually amusing, educational, entertaining, or biographical.

The missing passage of the question are:

Passage 1

Raising the minimum wage for workers will provide a significant boost to the economy. For example, changing the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour would add $22 billion to the economy by increasing people's purchasing power. Household spending would increase by $48 billion in one year with a similar minimum wage increase. Increased earnings lead to increased spending and a greater demand for products and services. This phenomenon then leads to the need for more workers and, thereby, job growth.

Passage 2

The current federal minimum wage for workers is $7.25. If the government increased that by $1.75, studies show that household spending would also increase—by $48 billion annually. An economic move like this makes too much sense to ignore. A rise in household spending would mean an expansion in the profits of many businesses, including small businesses. As a small-business owner, I would certainly welcome the extra income. The last time the minimum wage was increased, my profit margin increased substantially. My fellow small-business owners experienced a similar profit growth that year.

The evidence in passage 2 is more convincing because it is rational and supported by anecdotes.

Thus. the correct option is D.
