In his speech about natural disasters, Paul included the following statement:Floods are psychologically as well as physically devastating. As one local flood victim told me, "It is a helpless feeling to see the water continue to rise—to see it wash away your home, to see it wash away your life. I just feel like giving up." According to your textbook, what kind of supporting material did Paul use?

Answer 1

Answer:

Peer testimony

Explanation:

A testimony is simply called a given statement  by  a person who possesses a  reasonable or  logical connection to the  subject, field or topic and  He or she must be a credible source. Mostly, it can be used to either clarify or prove a point.

Peer testimony can simply be defined as when a statement or testimony is being  given by an individual  who does not have expertise in the that particular area, field or subject that is in question. they can also be called antiauthorities  because it's testimony  source that is neither expert nor celebrity, but  likely to the subject of an audience. Paul may not be an expert in that field but he has personal experience with the issue in question.
