To answer the questions:
1. For the question about inductive reasoning, you correctly chose option B. Inductive reasoning is a type of reasoning that uses observation of patterns and past events to reach a conclusion. This means that by observing a pattern or past events, one makes an educated guess about what the future outcome might be.
2. For the question about the kind of reasoning Lilly used to solve the equation, you correctly chose option A. Lilly used deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is a type of reasoning that uses previously proven or accepted properties to reach a conclusion. In this case, Lilly followed a set of logical steps to solve the equation.
3. For the question about the conditional statement, you correctly chose option C. "I will go if you go" is a conditional statement. Conditional statements consist of an "if" clause (the condition) and a "then" clause (the result or consequence). In this case, the statement is made that if you go, then I will go.
4. For the question about the conclusion of the conditional statement "If it rains, then I will not go outside," you correctly chose option D. "I will not go outside" is the conclusion of the conditional statement. The statement states that if it rains (the condition), then the conclusion is that I will not go outside.
