Question

because the declarations argument begins with general principles and draws a conclusion, it uses .
pathos inductive reasoning
deductive reasoning parallelism

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Pathos is an appeal to emotion, not related to reasoning from principles to conclusion.
• Inductive reasoning moves from specific to general, while the question describes starting with general principles.
• Deductive reasoning starts with general principles (premises) and draws a specific conclusion, which matches the description.
• Parallelism is a rhetorical device about structure, not reasoning type.

So the correct option is the one related to deductive reasoning.

Answer:

deductive reasoning
