Define inductive reasoning.

using general theories or principals to make predictions about more specific situations

answering questions by analyzing specific observations and using them to come to a more general understanding

doubting or not accepting conclusions or ideas until they have been adequately tested and verified

answering questions based on what can be perceived by the senses

B?

No.

What is the meaning of inductive reasoning?

but that choice is the closest to what it says in my text

I reread your choices, and B is the best answer. Sorry.

thank u

The correct answer is B. Inductive reasoning involves answering questions by analyzing specific observations and using them to come to a more general understanding. It is a logical process in which you make conclusions or predictions based on patterns, trends, or evidence that you have observed. Inductive reasoning does not rely on general theories or principles to make predictions about more specific situations (A), nor does it involve doubting or not accepting conclusions until they have been tested and verified (C). It is also not about answering questions based on what can be perceived by the senses (D).
