Read this excerpt: Americans already drink soda at an annual rate of about
fifty-six gallons per person – that's nearly six hundred
twelve-ounce cans of soda per person.

Which type of evidence is Schlosser using in this excerpt from Fast Food
Nation?

A. Claim

B. Fact

C. Quotation

D. Statistic

The correct answer is D. Statistic

Explanation:

Statistics explain reality by using numbers or percentages. For example, the sentence "35% of the people choose vanilla ice cream over chocolate ice cream" is a statistic because this uses percentages to explain/describe phenomena in the world. This type of evidence is the one used by the author in the excerpt presented because he uses numbers such as "fifty-six gallons per person" to explain the intake of soda in America and develop his argument.
