Whenever Jim enters a room where there are roses, his eyes water and he begins to sneeze. Jim must be allergic to roses.

This is an example of
A.
proportions.
B.
inductive reasoning.
C.
deductive reasoning.
D.
distributive property.

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is C: Deductive reasoning
C. deductive reasoning.

Inductive reasoning starts with a conclusion and deductive reasoning starts with a premise. Therefore, inductive reasoning moves from specific instances into a generalized conclusion, while deductive
reasoning moves from generalized principles that are known to be true to a true and specific conclusion.

Jim entering a room where roses --> his eyes water begins to sneeze.
This is the premise or the logical proof we're building.

"Jim must be allergic" because those are symptoms of an allergic reaction.
This is the conclusion DEDUCED by that premise or evidence given before.

Hope that helps!
