Answer:

Inductive reasoning

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning refers to a specific type of logical thinking that involves forming generalizations based on specific incidents you've experienced or observations you've made. This specific incidents or observations make the person generalize thinking the whole should be similar to the specific part that the person has witnessed.

In this example, Bertha met two students from another school and was impressed with how nice they were. Bertha now believes that all of the students from that school must also be nice. <u>Bertha made an observation on two specific students of the school and now she is generalizing her observations thinking ALL the students from that school must be nice</u>. Thus, Bertha is using inductive reasoning.
