Answer:

Conclusion: "Therefore, all jeans at the nearby store are on sale."

Step-by-step explanation:

Reasoning- this happens when a person thinks about something logically. This process of thinking affects the decision of a person. There are primarily two type of reasoning: inductive and deductive.

Inductive Reasoning- this reasoning starts with specific observations that move into generalized conclusion.

Deductive Reasoning- this is the opposite of inductive reasoning. It starts with a generalized statement and moves to a specific conclusion.

The example above demonstrates inductive reasoning.

Jeans are on sale at a nearby store. = this is the specific observation that you have.

Therefore, all jeans at the nearby store are on sale = this is the generalized conclusion. Since jeans are on sale at a nearby store, then you assume that all jeans are on sale at a nearby store. For you, this is true.

Remember that not all conclusions are valid. They are only true according to how you reasoned out.
