Which type of reasoning involves reasoning from the general to the particular or from cause to effect?

  1. Slippery slope fallacy

  2. Loaded words

  3. Inductive reasoning

  4. Deductive reasoning

The correct answer is: Deductive reasoning

Deductive reasoning involves reasoning from the general to the particular or from cause to effect. In deductive reasoning, if the premises are true, the conclusion must necessarily follow. This is often represented in the form of syllogisms, where a general principle is applied to specific cases to reach a logical conclusion. Slippery slope fallacy involves suggesting that one thing will lead to another, without providing concrete evidence for the connection. Loaded words involve using emotionally charged language to manipulate the audience's perception. Inductive reasoning, on the other hand, involves reasoning from specific observations to make generalizations or predictions.
