1. The correct answer is A. Inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves drawing a general conclusion based on specific observations or data. In this case, the poll of five thousand people is used as specific data to make a general conclusion about the percentage of the nation that drinks juice for breakfast every day.
2. The correct answer is B. Deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning involves drawing a specific conclusion based on general premises or principles. In this case, the premise "All persons want to travel in Europe" is used to conclude that Martin, who is a person, wants to travel in Europe.
3. The correct answer is D. Valid and true syllogism. A syllogism is a form of deductive reasoning involving two premises and a conclusion. In this case, the premises "Anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen of it" and "Betsy was born in Nebraska" are used to conclude that Betsy is a U.S. citizen.
1. The correct answer is B. deductive reasoning. To determine this, we need to understand the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves making generalizations or predictions based on a limited set of observations or evidence. Deductive reasoning, on the other hand, involves drawing logical conclusions based on known premises or facts. In this case, the statement is based on a poll of 5000 people, which is a limited set of observations. Therefore, the conclusion that 57 percent of the nation drinks juice for breakfast every day is a generalization and falls under deductive reasoning.
2. The correct answer is D. This is not an example of reasoning. This statement does not involve any reasoning or logical inferences. It simply states a fact about Martin based on the given premises, without any logical connection or deduction.
3. The correct answer is D. valid and true syllogism. A syllogism is a type of deductive reasoning that consists of two premises and a conclusion. In this case, the premises are "Anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen of it" and "Betsy was born in Nebraska." Based on these two premises, we can logically conclude that "Betsy is a U.S. citizen." The syllogism is valid because the conclusion follows logically from the premises, and it is also true in this case because Betsy was indeed born in Nebraska.
