Answer:

Inductive it is based on a generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fact that Maya lives by the park. She lives in a quiet area depends on who you are asking, some may think it's quiet while others consider it loud and active. It is not always quiet if you live by the park. There may be more baseball or soccer games and lot of kids screaming and laughing and yelling all day! So it it a generalization based on only one fact the rest are all personal perception.
