Answer 3

That is deductive, because you are basing your decision off of solid fact (all dogs are mammals)

Answer 4

Inductive would be basing your decision off of events. For example:

In March, it was sunny every day of the month in California.
In April, it was also sunny every day in Cali.
In May, and June, it was also sunny every day.
Therefore, it is sunny every day in California.

(I know, completely bad example... but you get the point, right?)
