Question

The Fast Food Nation excerpt begins with a description of a teen fast-food worker. This is an example of ✔ anecdotal evidence. The anecdote supports Schlosser’s claim by suggesting that teens are a mainstay of the fast-food workforce. teens work long, hard hours in fast food. a small number of workers can quickly serve customers. the fast-food industry requires younger workers than other industries do. What is one drawback of using the anecdote as evidence? It does not necessarily reflect the experience of other fast-food workers. It makes fast-food work sound tedious and tiring. The teen it describes is not a credible expert. It describes work the teen does before the restaurant opens.

Answer 1

Answer:

It does not necessarily reflect the experience of other fast-food workers

Explanation:

Anecdotal evidence, as the name implies, consists of particular anecdotes, that can be useful to learn more about the subject matter, but that cannot be used in any way whatsoever to draw scientific conclusions.

This is because anecdotal evidence is not always representative of the reality of the subject matter on a larger scale.

This is why other research techniques like statistical studies are preferred.
