Which option is an example of deductive reasoning?
A. All the cherries I've eaten have been sour. Therefore, all cherries
must be sour.
B. All players must roll the dice. Igor is a player, so he must roll the
dice.
C. All my friends have been taller than me. Therefore, my next friend
will be taller than me.
D. All planes have wings. A jet is a plane, so it must be fast.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

An example of deductive reasoning is "All the cherries I've eaten have been sour. Therefore, all cherries must be sour." The correct option is A.

Deductive reasoning is a type of logical reasoning where a specific conclusion is drawn from general principles or premises. It involves applying general rules or statements to specific situations or cases.

In option A, the statement follows deductive reasoning because it generalizes from specific instances to make a conclusion about all cherries based on the observation that all the cherries the person has eaten have been sour. The conclusion drawn is that all cherries must be sour.

Let's examine the other options to understand why they do not represent deductive reasoning:

B. All players must roll the dice. Igor is a player, so he must roll the dice.

This statement does not represent deductive reasoning because it assumes a general rule that all players must roll the dice. However, it does not necessarily follow that Igor must roll the dice just because he is a player. There could be specific circumstances or exceptions that make it possible for Igor not to roll the dice.

C. All my friends have been taller than me. Therefore, my next friend will be taller than me.

This statement does not represent deductive reasoning because it assumes a pattern based on personal experience (all friends being taller) and then makes a prediction about the next friend. However, this prediction may not necessarily hold true as there could be exceptions or variations in the heights of individuals.

D. All planes have wings. A jet is a plane, so it must be fast.

This statement does not represent deductive reasoning because it combines two unrelated characteristics (planes having wings and jets being fast) without establishing a logical connection. Just because a jet is classified as a plane does not guarantee that it must be fast, as there can be variations in the speed of different types of planes.

Therefore, deductive reasoning involves drawing specific conclusions based on general principles or premises. Option A represents deductive reasoning because it generalizes from specific instances to make a conclusion about all cherries. The other options do not demonstrate deductive reasoning due to the lack of logical connections or the presence of assumptions without sufficient evidence.

Select the correct text in the passage.
In this speech by Patrick Henry, he tries to convince his fellow Virginians that they should oppose the British government and become independent. In which
set of sentences does he most clearly state his commitment to seeking independence?
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But
different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen it,
entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time
for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to Indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of
that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to
be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For
my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of Judging of the future but by the past.
And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes
with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House, Is it that Insidious smile with which our petition has been lately
recelved? Trust it not, sir, it will prove a snare to your feet.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-but there is no peace. The war is actually begunt The next gale that
sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the fieldt why stand we here Idle? What is
it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it,
Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death
