Answer

Brief Explanations:

Passage 1 uses a survey of teachers (empirical evidence as it's based on data - collection from a group) and a study on test - scores (also empirical evidence) along with general statements (anecdotal in a sense as they are more opinion - based like the cost - effectiveness statement). Since only Passage 1 has data - based evidence (empirical), while both have non - data based statements (anecdotal).

Answer:

Both passages use anecdotal evidence but only passage 1 uses empirical evidence.
