Which option is an example of deductive reasoning? A. Rats are rodents. Mice are rodents. Therefore, mice are rats.
B. All the cats I've seen are furry. Therefore, most cats are furry.
C. Soo keeps rolling sixes. Therefore, she will continue to roll sixes.
D. Water is wet. The lake is water. Therefore, the lake is wet.

B

Explaination:

D

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning deals with knowledge you already know and applies it to something similar. A lake is made of water and water is wet. So the lake is wet. The only time deductive reasoning applies is when there are no factors to prove that the conclusion is anything other than true. Here is why the other answers are incorrect

A is incorrect. It is true that mice and rats are rodents, but rats are a different species than mice

B is incorrect due to the fact that there are species of cats than are hairless such as the Sphinx cat

C is incorrect cause you never know if she will roll a different number (Plus you probably jinxed her)

Have a nice day. Hope this helped
