Read the excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech "The Struggle for Human Rights.”

The basic problem confronting the world today, as I said in the beginning, is the preservation of human freedom for the individual and consequently for the society of which he is a part. We are fighting this battle again today as it was fought at the time of the French Revolution and as the time of the American Revolution. The issue of human liberty is as decisive now as it was then. I want to give you my conception of what is meant in my country by freedom of the individual.

Long ago in London during a discussion with Mr. Vyshinsky, he told me there was no such things as freedom for the individual in the world. All freedom of the individual was conditioned by the rights of other individuals. That of course, I granted. I said: "We approach the question from a different point of view; we here in the United Nations are trying to develop ideals which will be broader in outlook, which will consider first the rights of man, which will consider what makes man more free; not governments, but man.”

Which sentence from this passage is an example of anecdotal evidence?

A) “The basic problem confronting the world today, as I said in the beginning, is the preservation of human freedom for the individual.”

B) “We are fighting this battle again today as it was fought at the time of the French Revolution and as the time of the American Revolution.”

C) “Long ago in London during a discussion with Mr. Vyshinsky, he told me there was no such things as freedom for the individual in the world.”

D) “We here in the United Nations are trying to develop ideals which will be broader in outlook, which will consider first the rights of man.”

"Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes: evidence collected in a casual or informal manner and relying heavily or entirely on personal testimony. The term is sometimes used in a legal context to describe certain kinds of testimony which are uncorroborated by objective, independent evidence such as notarized documentation, photographs, audio-visual recordings, etc."

A discussion between two people is considered an informal manner because they are relying on another person's testimony.

is an example of an anecdotal evidence due to the fact that she is telling in a brief way an event that happened in the past which is of great importance for the point that she is trying to make. We can see that an anecdote is not only describing an event that someone personally experienced in the past but also it has to be related to the actual context in where the anecdote is brought.
