Question

a paragraph proof
contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion.
uses inductive reasoning to prove a statement.
uses a visual chart of the logical flow of steps needed to reach a conclusion.
contains a table with a logical series of statements and reasons.

Explanation:

To identify the correct description of a paragraph proof, we analyze each option:

• The first option (top - right): A paragraph proof contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion. This matches the definition of a paragraph proof, which presents the logical reasoning in paragraph form (using sentences) to show how a conclusion is reached.
• The second option (middle - right): Using a visual chart is characteristic of a flow - chart proof, not a paragraph proof.
• The third option (bottom - right): Containing a table with statements and reasons is characteristic of a two - column proof, not a paragraph proof.
• The fourth option (top - left): Using inductive reasoning to prove a statement is not the defining feature of a paragraph proof (paragraph proofs use deductive reasoning in a paragraph - style explanation).

Answer:

The top - right card (contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion)
