1. The website selects evaluations by choosing the two most positive and the two most negative comments.  
2. This method results in an extreme sample that does not reflect the overall distribution of opinions. In other words, the evaluations shown may not be representative of the majority of customer opinions.  
3. Since the posted reviews represent only the extremes, a reader is likely to get a skewed impression of the restaurant. Therefore, the reader cannot accurately assess the restaurant based solely on these evaluations.  
4. To have a more accurate picture, the reader might need to consider additional reviews beyond the extreme cases.

Thus, the correct statements are:

- $$ \square $$ A. The reader cannot accurately assess the restaurant because the evaluations posted are not necessarily representative of all the evaluations.  
- $$ \square $$ C. The reader cannot accurately assess the restaurant without reading all of the evaluations.
The reader cannot accurately assess the restaurant because the posted evaluations are not representative of all opinions and may not reflect the overall experience. Additionally, without reading all evaluations, the reader cannot form a complete understanding.
