Which of the following is the best description of the seven rooms in “the masque of the red death”?
a. grotesque and bizarre b. colorful and cheerful c. childish and disgusting d. elegant and bland

The correct answer is Passage 1 uses empirical evidence, while passage 2 uses logical evidence.

Indeed, empirical evidence is evidence based on data drawn from scientific research and or studies. The first paragraph does exactly that by quoting all the testing research on the topic at hand.

Passage 2 on the other hand, is a perfect example of logical evidence. The narrator uses a single case of known data from a reputable organization and bases his reasoning upon it to arrive to a conclusion. He also includes some anecdotal evidence about his own experience.
