What type of reasoning involves reasoning from detailed facts to general principles?

Inductive reasoning
Deductive reasoning
Loaded words
Runaway train

The correct answer is: Inductive reasoning

Inductive reasoning involves reasoning from detailed facts to general principles. This type of reasoning moves from specific observations to broader generalizations and is used to make predictions or formulate theories based on limited information. In contrast, deductive reasoning moves from general principles to specific conclusions. Option C, Loaded Words, refers to language that is emotionally charged and intended to influence an audience's perception, which is unrelated to the type of reasoning being discussed in the question. Option D, Runaway Train, does not have any relevance to the concept of reasoning from detailed facts to general principles.
