Question 19 • TPS EdX English Language Arts 11

Read the excerpt from Fast Food Nation . Up and down Academy Boulevard, along South Nevada, Circle Drive, and Woodman Road, teenagers like Elisa run the fast food restaurants of Colorado Springs. Fast food kitchens often seem like a scene from Bugsy Malone, a film in which all the actors are children pretending to be adults. No other industry in the United States has a workforce so dominated by adolescents. How does Schlosser effectively build his argument in this excerpt?

Answer
A
He uses testimonial evidence to explain the health risks of eating fast food.
B
He uses analogical evidence to help the reader visualize his point about the workers.
C
He uses anecdotal evidence to share a personal experience of eating fast food.
D
He uses statistical evidence to prove that adults make better employees than teens.

Explanation

Schlosser compares fast food kitchens to the film Bugsy Malone, where children pretend to be adults. This analogy helps readers picture teenagers taking on adult-like roles in the restaurants. The excerpt does not give a personal story, health testimony, or statistics comparing teen and adult workers.
