Annabel Is Planning to Buy a Cordless Phone

Annabel is planning to buy a cordless phone. She has narrowed her choice down to a Northtech X7 model and a Telecom G-Pro model. Alfred tells Annabel: "Consumer Reports did extensive testing and rated the Northtech X7 as the highest overall. The same article indicated that the Telecom phone was unreliable and needed frequent service." Francine tells Annabel: "The Consumer Reports article is probably flawed because my uncle had a Northtech X7 phone, and he had nothing but problems with it. He decided to switch to the Telecom phone, and he hasn't had any problems." Based on the research results reported in the critical thinking application, you should predict that Annabel will MOST likely

A) buy the Telecom phone because she will be more persuaded by the anecdotal evidence.
B) buy the Northtech X7 phone because she will be more persuaded by objective evidence.
C) do further research on her own before buying either of the two phones.
D) decide not to buy a cordless phone because the two reports her friends provided conflict with each other.
