@satellite73 then whats deductive?

anonymous · Answer

deductive is when you have a broad statement then you narrow it down and come to a conclusion. so by saying you say ants drink a liquid thats very broad but when you say you think its any poisoning it becomes very narrow so its deductive. to prefix de- means down or decrease
