Question

Which type of logic is demonstrated in the following example? Everyone on my street lost power during the storm. I will not be able to turn on the lights at my house. A. Deductive reasoning B. Socratic method C. Explicit argument D. Intrinsic motivation

Answer 1

A. deductive reasoning

Deductive reasoning is basically the drawing of a conclusion based upon certain evidence. Thus, when we see the first portion of the sentence, “Everyone on my street lost power during the storm,” we are reading the evidence upon which the conclusion of “I will not be able to turn on the lights at my house” is drawn.
