Answer 1

Answer:

(A). Deductive reasoning: A student studying the chemical contents of chocolate speculates that dark chocolate should make dogs sicker than milk chocolate.

(B). Both inductive and deductive reasoning: A dog, having gotten a bite of chocolate cake off a counter, returns eagerly to the same spot two hours later.

(C). Inductive reasoning: After seeing her dog eat chocolate and later get sick, a child tells a playmate that chocolate is bad for dogs.

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning involves analyzing a situation or event based on one or more generally accepted principles, to arrive at a logical and specific conclusion.

Inductive reasoning involves observing specific events or occurrences and then coming to a conclusion based on those events. For example a child concludes that chocolate is bad for dogs after she sees her dog eat one and fall sick.
