The answer is D: conjecture
The key words in the description are "look for a pattern and then form an educated guess." This suggests making a hypothesis or assumption based on the observed pattern, which is the definition of a conjecture.
The other answer choices are defined as follows:
A. conjugation - the act of changing a verb to agree with its subject
B. conjunction - a connecting word
C. congruence - the state of agreeing, matching, or coinciding
D. conjecture - an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information
So option D, conjecture, is the best match for forming an educated guess based on an observed pattern in induction.
