The answer is C: A teacher assigns a 10 page research project and says, "this might take a little time".

An understatement is a statement that underplays the significance, value, size, relevance or importance of something and it makes it seem considerable less than what it actually is. In this example, the teacher makes it seem like writing a 10 page essay will take just “a little time”, when in fact, any student knows that a 10 page essay in a considerable enterprise that will take a lot more than just a little time.

ANTONII [103]

The correct answer is “deductively”. The paragraph presented above is organized deductively, since <u>deductive reasoning</u> involves <em>generalization </em>at the initial stage and then moves on towards the specific case. The starting generalization in this case is that “<em>leisure is not to be spent in idleness</em>” and then the author makes specific references of what leisure is about. Among the four options, “<u><em>deductively</em></u>” is the correct one.
