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.
Answer:
D. In particular.
Explanation:
The use of the phrase "in particular" points to the specificity of the thing or person talked about. It is used to make particular reference to a thing or person.
In the given sentence, the blank will be filled by "in particular" because it shows the specific type of flowers that hummingbirds are attracted to. By pointing out that "tubular or trumpet shapes" are particularly liked by them, it specifies the type of flowers they like.
So, the sentence will be-
<em>"Hummingbirds are attracted to all flowers, </em><u><em>in particular</em></u><em>, those with tubular or trumpet shapes."</em>
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
