Hi there
The removal of the scarlet letter be as pointless as forcing Hester to wear it in the first place because a majority of the villagers already knew she had committed an act of adultery. This is proven a few times throughout the story.
(I do not have the story in my possession, so I cannot write any textual support unfortunately. I have read the story in class before, though.)
Answer:
The type of evidence used in the excerpt is: anecdotal.
Explanation:
Anecdotal evidence comes from personal testimonies, that is, from stories people tell about something that happened to them. This type of evidence is casual, informal, and often unscientific. This is the kind of evidence used in the excerpt. The author is relating Elisa's story, her personal experience as a fast-food restaurant worker. The whole passage is based on her testimony, which makes it anecdotal.
Answer: Assertive
An antonym is basically the opposite of a word. Since nonresistant means that something does not resist, the answer would have to be a word that means some form of resistance. Passive, absorbent, and obedient are all non resistant, so therefore assertive is the most suitable answer.
A dynamic changes during the course of the story. :)
