Answer

Brief Explanations:

Deductive reasoning starts with general principles and moves to specific conclusions.

  • For the first option, Gema makes a general conclusion from specific observations (inductive).
  • Second option, Janelia makes a general - to - specific conclusion but it's more of an assumption based on general knowledge rather than strict deduction.
  • Third option, Felix uses a general rule (everything in bookbag fits in suitcase) to a specific case (laptop in bookbag), which is deductive.
  • Fourth option, Matthew makes a prediction based on past specific observations (inductive).
  • Fifth option, Eric uses a general schedule to a specific time, which is deductive.
  • Sixth option, Sammy makes a general conclusion from specific observations (inductive).

Answer:

C. Felix knows that everything that fits in his bookbag will fit in his suitcase. His laptop fits in his bookbag, so he concludes that the laptop will fit in his suitcase. E. The school's schedule states that lunch period is from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Eric concludes that it is after 12:00 p.m. because it is currently the lunch period.
