Answer 2

Deductive reasoning goes from general to specific. It is the foundation of the scientific method that starts with a general theory or belief, and then observes specific things in order to test the general theory or belief. Students having 120 credits will get a degree. Anna will get her degree because she has 130 credits. One of the most famous examples of deductive reasoning is from Aristotle: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.
