Answer;

Deductive reasoning.


The above is an example of deductive reasoning because true statements (premises) are leading to a true conclusion.


Step-by-step explanation;

The sentence contains the following premises that are true and precise:

1. "The entire drama team is going to the dance."

2. "Henry is on the drama team"


These premises in turn, lead to a true and logical conclusion, "Therefore, Henry is going to the dance."
