This question is incomplete. Here´s the complete question.

The night dragged on with an endless, bitterly cold routine of pumping, steering and working the radio. We were getting no replies to our Mayday Calls - which was not surprising in this remote corner of the world.

Sue's head had swollen alarmingly; she had two enormous black eyes, and now she showed us a deep cut on her arm. When I asked why she hadn't made more of her injuries known before this, she replied, “I didn't want to worry you when you were trying to save us all."

The word "agonizing" refers to something that produces important physical or mental distress, such as the situation described.

A Mayday Call is the international radio distress signal for boats and planes.

Sue shows conviction, meaning a strong belief, on her parents' attempt to save them all.

The word "enormous" refers to something quite large.

Answer:

The type of evidence used in the passage is:

A. statistical evidence.

Explanation:

In the passage we are analyzing here, the author mentions a couple of percentages to make his point. This is an example of statistical evidence. This type of evidence relies on numbers, usually resulting from surveys and researches, to offer support to a claim. If I say, for instance, that 70% of people who eat eggs lose fat and gain mass more quickly than those who do not eat eggs, I will be using statistical evidence to prove my point that eating eggs is helpful for bodybuilders - that is just an example.
