Answer 1

Answer:

D. Deductive; Inductive

Deductive reasoning starts with general idea and uses specific examples to support that idea. Inductive reasoning starts with a more specific idea to draw a more general conclusion.

Explanation:

While deductive reasoning is a logical process in which we start with a general idea, hypothesis or premises and then use specific examples to support the idea, inductive reasoning is a logical process in which we use specific observations of an action, situation, person, etc. in order to make a broad generalization, general assumption or “theory.”
