Question

question 21 (1 point) deductive reasoning, if the premises are true, guarantees that the conclusion: a. emphasizes probability. b. must also be true (logical certainty). c. appeals successfully to emotion. d. uses a hasty generalization.

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning is a logical process. In deductive reasoning, if the premises (the starting statements) are true and the reasoning structure is valid, then the conclusion must follow. It's about logical certainty, not probability (which is more associated with inductive reasoning), not appealing to emotion (that's more rhetorical or emotional argumentation), and not using hasty generalization (a fallacy in reasoning).

Answer:

B. Must also be true (logical certainty)
