what makes the evidence effective? check all of the boxes that apply.
it helps the reader better visualize just how many young people work in the fast-food industry.
it compares the fast-food industry to the filmmaking industry.
it shows that adults make better fast-food employees than teens.
it supports the reasoning that the fast-food industry values a younger workforce over adult workers.

Explanation:

• For the first part, the text compares fast - food kitchens to a scene from Bugsy Malone where children pretend to be adults. This is an analogical comparison.
• For the second part:
• The comparison helps readers visualize the large number of young workers (as in the film with child actors), so the first option is valid.
• The comparison is made between fast - food kitchens and a film scene (not the entire filmmaking industry in a general sense, but the specific scene), but it is still a form of comparison.
• The text does not suggest that adults make better employees, so the third option is incorrect.
• Since it shows young people (like child actors) in a role (fast - food work) that might be associated with adults, it supports the idea that the fast - food industry values a younger workforce.

Answer:

• First question: Analogical evidence.
• Second question:
• It helps the reader better visualize just how many young people work in the fast - food industry.
• It supports the reasoning that the fast - food industry values a younger workforce over adult workers.
