its c, sorry if i’m wrong

In case of : Allegra barking n = 4 times, when given 4 sausages - Inductive Logic is used.

Given : Allegra barks once & twice & thrice, when Larry gives him 1 & 2 sausages respectively.

So, later he assumes that he would bark 4 times, if given four sausages

  • Deductive Reasoning is when conclusion related to particular is drawn, based on general universal. Eg : All men are mortal, Ram is a man. Ram is mortal.
  • Inductive Reasoning is when a generalised conclusion is drawn, based on specific case. Eg : Law of gravity based on apple falling.                     Allegra's case of barking n times for n sausages (1, 2,3 ...) is further generalised for other positive numbers & hence 4.
  • Indirect Reasoning relates two events. If A is true leads to B is true, then B is false implies A has also been false.
  • Circular Reasoning is a logical fallacy of beginning with an already assumed true statement.
