Question

1. 1. All roses are red.
2. I have a red flower.
3. I have a rose.

Which of the following best describes this series of statements?
inductive reasoning with valid inference in Point 1

deductive reasoning with a valid conclusion in Point 3

inductive reasoning with an invalid inference in Point 1

deductive reasoning with an invalid conclusion in Point 3

Answer 1

i think the second one is correct, is this true?

Answer 2

No :) Look at Point 3. It's an invalid conclusion...just because you have a red flower and all roses are red, doesn't mean you have a rose.

In addition, deductive reasoning is where to go from a general observation ("all roses are red") and move to more specific observances ("I have a red flower").

Answer 3

Inductive reasoning basically works the opposite way. From very specific to very general.

Answer 4

i forgot one, the choices are

inductive reasoning with valid inference in Point 1

deductive reasoning with a valid conclusion in Point 3

inductive reasoning with an invalid inference in Point 1

deductive reasoning with an invalid conclusion in Point 3

which one is correct?

Answer 5

The last one is correct. It's certainly deductive reasoning and the final conclusion isn't valid because other flowers could also be red.
