The letter from Samuel Johnson shown above was made as a refusal to request a woman who would like to receive sponsorship from a bishop to send her son to university.
In the Letter, Johnson explains the reasons that led him to reject this request, stating that they cannot ask the bishop he does not know, sponsorship for a boy the bishop does not know. This is because this type of sponsorship was something very big, with great economic expense. Therefore, this was not offered to strangers, but only to people with whom the sponsors had knowledge and a certain intimacy.
In this letter, Johnson makes recurring use of ethos and logos. He uses ehos, when he shows that he is rejecting the request in the most ethical and respectable way possible, and, he uses logos, when he shows that the refusal is not being made for personal reasons, but for the logic of the situation.
Finally, Johnson says that he believes that the woman's son is a brilliant boy and that it is not necessary for him to go to university to be a great man.
Answer:
Deductive logic
Explanation:
The Cognitive development theory of Jean Piaget suggests that there are four stages through which a child develops mentally.
The fourth or the last stage of the theory is the Formal Operational Stage. <u>This occurs at the age of 12 and above. In this stage, a child develops through certain skills such as </u><u>systematic planning</u><u>, </u><u>deductive reasoning</u><u>, etc</u>.
According to Piaget, deductive logic or reasoning is a type of reasoning that involves using of general statement or hypothesis to reach a particular outcome.
The sentence given in the question is an example of deductive reasoning.
<u>The general statement is </u><u><em>"if all people are equal" </em></u><u>and the outcome abstracted from this general statement is </u><u><em>"then you and I must be equal."</em></u>
So, the correct answer is deductive reasoning.

Answer:
It is unexpected that the bachelor becomes involved with the family and storytelling.
Explanation:
"The storyteller" is a short story by H. H. Munro, known as Saki.
The story revolves around three curious children constantly asking their aunt numerous question while travelling in a railway carriage. In order to keep them quiet, she decides to tell them a story, only to be confronted by an unknown man, a stranger, riding the carriage with them, about her obvious lack of story-telling skill. The stranger then proceeds to tell them his version of the aunt's story.
Since the man was a complete stranger, we could say it was rather unexpected of him to become involved with the storytelling so suddenly.
