Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I, or those I represent, to do

with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? And am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?
Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions! Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold, that a nation’s sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude, that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish, that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation’s jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? I am not that man. In a case like that, the dumb might eloquently speak, and the “lame man leap as an hart.”

Which statement best describes why this excerpt contains an example of deductive reasoning?

It contains specific details that support a variety of different ideas.
It begins with broad statements and ends with more specific ones.
It uses clear examples that are easily understood by all readers.
It starts with a very simple idea and builds to a much grander idea.

I believe the correct answer is that it begins with broad statements and ends with more specific ones.
In the beginning, the speaker is just presenting the general idea of the Declaration of Independence and asking certain questions. However, through those questions, he is finding appropriate answers and concluding specific ideas that he wanted to share with his audience.

Banks and other financial institutions channel money from to borrowers to investors.
Klio2033 [76]

This statement is false. Actually the correct version would be exactly the opposite: Banks and other financial institutions channel money from to INVESTORS to BORROWERS.

Investors deposit money in the bank by the purchase of financial products of very different kinds (savings account, shares, private or public debt, etc). The bank pays some return for this money and, in turn, uses it to lend money to customers who come for a loan or a mortgage (for example). These borrowers need to pay a fee to the bank to obtain the money resquested. The fee is actually a percentage of the total amount lent and it is called interest.
