Pinball I think but not very sure
Answer:
This is an example of a failure of deductive reasoning.
Explanation:
Deductive reasoning is one that first analyzes two premises to reach a conclusion. If the text shown in the question above were an example of deductive reasoning done correctly, we should read: "we do not know B, nor C and therefore we cannot say that they are equal to A."
However, we see the narrator of the text presenting conclusions without evaluating the premises, presenting a false conclusion. This is an example of inductive reasoning failure.
The man fails to consider the possibilities of what might go wrong. He fails to form a connection with nature or even with his dog who is trying to tell him to stop. The man simply sees his destination and is determined to get there. The man's lack of imagination puts him out of sync with the elements around him. This causes him to make crucial mistakes as he goes forward. He does not allow the very probable image of him freezing to death develop in his mind
