Question

The short paragraph below uses what kind of reasoning
Experiencing pain shortcuts the ability to think. My father suffered from chronic pain because of spinal stenosis. One way that we knew he wasn't thinking
clearly was in the weird purchases he made. He actually bought an extended warranty for my mother's car, even though it was already under warranty. He also
bought an expensive pair of walking shoes even though he was only able to walk to the kitchen table or the bathroom
inductive
deductive
generalized
specified

Answer 1

The different types of reasoning can be defined as follows:

• Inductive - It can be defined as the reasoning that derives generalized theories based on specific observations
• Deductive - It is the opposite of inductive reasoning. It derives specific theories based on general observations
• Generalized - It is a subtype of inductive reasoning which converts specific instances into general principles
• Specified - It is a subtype of deductive reasoning.

The given passage derives a generalized theory that pain shortcuts a person's ability to think clearly. This is based on specific examples, such as purchasing an extended warranty and an expensive pair of shoes.

Thus, it shows inductive reasoning.
