Is this a VALID or INVALID argument?
Animals should be in cages
Did this person use DEDUCTIVE or INDUCTIVE reasoning?
What types of appeals did the person rely on (ethos, logos, pathos)?
Do you detect any BIAS in their response?
could i get help figuring this out
Is there no context for this? No other sentences or a paragraph?
Start here -- http://sociology.about.com/od/Research/a/Deductive-Reasoning-Versus-Inductive-Reasoning.htm -- and make sure you are 100% clear on the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning.
Then go here -- http://pathosethoslogos.com/ -- to be 100% sure of the meaning of each of these terms.
Look up the other terms here:

Let us know what you decide.
no its only for that sentence and i think its invilad and inductive
One sentence isn't an argument, as I've always understood them, so I suppose "invalid" is correct.
However, you haven't addressed the ethos/pathos/logos question or the issue of bias.
so was i right about it being inductive and i know its not pathos but the def for legos wont come up right nd for the biased question yes i detect some bias things in this because its a unreasonable opinion
nvm i did it all wrong this is the story
Many animals benefit greatly from the extra protection that places such as nature reserves and zoos offer. Zoos and nature reserves today are constantly and strictly monitored to make sure the animals are in the best health and happiness. Each enclosure is specially designed for the animal living in it to keep it as close to its natural habitat as possible. This a far cry from the zoos in the past that were cold, concrete cages that provided animals with no enrichment.
Remember - these animals have been born in captivity. They do not miss "the wild" as they do not know what it is. Letting a captive-bred animal out into the wild would be far more cruel as it wouldn't know how to feed or protect itself from any number of dangers. Some species, without captive breeding, would be long extinct such as Przewalski's horse which no longer exists in the wild. Many species (such as the rhino, panda, wolf, cheetah, leopard, tiger, bacterian camel, many species of birds as a small example), without human protection and conservation would be long extinct. Granted, some of the fault lies in human development and hunting, but other factors include habitats and climates changing too fast for some species to keep up with, limited distribution and disease.
Being "free" for some species, will ultimately mean "dead".
Lastly, one must remember that pets such as dogs and cats are kept in captivity, too! The pet dog or cat we have today has been bred to be a companion animal for many thousands of years, so much so that they would not last very long if dumped into the wild. Such companion animals haven't evolved to dodge cars or be wary of roads, and even today many die from being hit by a car or being killed by a bigger wild animal.

To determine if the argument is valid or invalid, we need more information as the given statement "Animals should be in cages" does not provide any supporting reasons or evidence. An argument is considered valid if the conclusion logically follows from the premises. Without additional information, it is not possible to determine the validity of the argument.
As for the reasoning used, deductive reasoning typically involves reaching a specific conclusion based on general principles, laws, or rules. Inductive reasoning, on the other hand, involves reaching a general conclusion based on specific observations or examples. Since the statement does not offer any logical reasoning or evidence, we cannot determine if deductive or inductive reasoning was used.
To identify the types of appeals used in the statement (ethos, logos, pathos), we again need more information or context. Ethos refers to credibility or the authority of the speaker, logos refers to logical reasoning or evidence, and pathos refers to emotional appeal. Without additional context, it is difficult to determine which of these appeals, if any, were employed.
Regarding bias, it is not clear from the given statement if any bias exists. Bias refers to a tendency or preference towards a particular perspective or outcome. Without further information, it is not possible to identify bias in the given statement.
