Question

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation. The strict regimentation at fast food restaurants creates standardized products. It increases the throughput. And it gives fast food companies an enormous amount of power over their employees. “When management determines exactly how every task is to be done . . . and can impose its own rules about pace, output, quality, and technique,” the sociologist Robin Leidner has noted, “[it] makes workers increasingly interchangeable.” Which type of evidence is Schlosser using in this excerpt?
A.anecdotal
B.statistical
C.testimonial
D.analogical

Answer 1

C. testimonial is your answer :)

Answer 2

Schlosser uses the testimonial evidence in the excerpt from the fast food nations.

Testimonial evidence refers to the proving or disapproving of different things. It is done through under oath and live witness which occurs through direct examination. Herein, the party cross question from a witness about the conflicts and problems in the evidence. Also, the jury hears and notes the live cross-examination.

Thus, in the above excerpt the sociologist Robin Leinder acts as a jurist who hears the points about what enables the company to power over their employees.
