Answer:

A. All applicants must pass a test. Claire is an applicant, so she must pass a test.

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning can be defined as a type of logical reasoning that typically involves drawing conclusions from one or more premises (factual statements) that are assumed to be true generally.

Basically, deductive reasoning starts with a general statement, idea or hypothesis (All applicants must pass a test; Claire is an applicant.) and reaches a specific logical conclusion (so she must pass a test.).

Hence, the option which is an example of deductive reasoning is; All applicants must pass a test. Claire is an applicant, so she must pass a test.

In conclusion, deductive reasoning is highly based on drawing an inference and reaching a logical conclusion from one or more premises. An inference is an act or process which typically involves a person deducing the meaning or message from something through induction.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

People who study codes

Explanation:

The sentence that gave it away is If there were no cribs to be found, the British would send out false information about, say, British mines planted in a given area. The Germans might then send messages with the name of that area, which would provide clues about deciphering that code.

Read the two excerpts from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar. [BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar

Talja [164]

Answer:

The speaker uses repetition and parallelism.

The speaker uses imagery.

The speaker appeals to emotions.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the assassination of Julius Caesar before he was made ruler of Rome. And the doers of the act were his close friends Brutus and Cassius, who revealed they had done it to prevent Rome from being ruled by an emperor, and also to make it more of a free nation rather than be ruled by a single man.

The two given monologues are from Act III scene ii of the play after the death of Caesar. Brutus's monologue reveals his intention behind his own betrayal to get Caesar killed while Antony's monologue also follows the same reason as Brutus. Both monologues show the speakers using imagery and appealing to the emotions of the people. Moreover, both speeches also have repetition and are parallel with each other.
