Steven observes that dogs stoop with their front legs low and hind legs high when they are playful. He hypothesizes that this is the correct body language for play among dogs. Steven has used deductive reasoning. True or false?

Answer:

Is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Deductive reasoning, also called deductive logic, is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to a certain logical conclusion.

Deductive reasoning links statements (or assumptions) with conclusions. If all the premises are true, and the rules of deductive logic are followed correctly, then the conclusion is necessarily true.

So Steven observing some dogs (premise) can conclude this statement.
