Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell.
Which type of evidence is used in this excerpt?
statistics

examples
hypotheticals

imitation, even among people who should and do know
better. The debased language that I have been

desired, would serve no good purpose, a consideration
which we should do well to bear in mind, are a
continuous temptation, a packet of aspirins always at
one's elbow.
