Question

deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning in the adventure of silver blaze: - deductive reasoning: - horse is gone - trainer is dead - inductive reasoning: - items in strakers pockets - tracks leading outside the stable - strakers cause of death - silent dog what is deductive reasoning? what the text says emotionally what the text says explicitly what the text says implicitly

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning starts with general statements (premises) and moves to a specific conclusion. In the given context, "Horse is gone" and "Trainer is dead" are explicit statements (premises). Deductive reasoning would use these explicit pieces of information to draw a conclusion. It is about taking what is clearly stated (explicit) and logically deducing something from it. Options A (emotional aspect) is not related to the nature of deductive reasoning which is logical - based on facts. Option C (implicit) is more related to inductive reasoning which builds on evidence (like "Items in Straker's pockets", "Tracks leading outside the stable" etc., which may require interpretation to form a conclusion).

Answer:

B. what the text says explicitly
