Answer: uses observed examples to infer a general conclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is a form of logic that simply means that a generalization is formed based on the specific incidents or observed examples that has occured earlier.

Example of an inductive reasoning is "John is a handsome boy; therefore, every John is handsome". The statement makes a general conclusion based on the observed example.
