Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carrie's experience is an anecdote, which is a personal account of an event or experience. While her experience may be helpful for her and others to consider, it is not a scientific or controlled experiment, therefore it cannot be used to draw conclusions or make recommendations about the effectiveness of vitamin C for treating a cold.
