Question

Which statement best describes anecdotal evidence? It is convincing, reliable, and accepted. It is entertaining, memorable, and relatable. It is insightful, undeniable, and entertaining. It is likely dry, impersonal, and unconvincing.

Answer 1

Answer:

B).  It is entertaining, memorable, and relatable.

Explanation:

Anecdotal evidence is elucidated as the evidence that is based heavily upon personal testimony or experiences. Such evidence is collected in a very informal or casual manner through the speaker's personal observations, readings, experiences, etc. and therefore, it is highly entertaining, memorable, as well as relatable' as the readers can associate themselves with these personal experiences. However, anecdotal evidence is less reliable due to cognitive bias that allows individuals to share only notable instances rather typical ones and also because its validity can not be investigated through the scientific approach. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
