*Deductive reasoning is a basic form of valid reasoning:
-Deductive reasoning, or deduction, starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion.
-Deductive reasoning, if something is true of a class of things in general, it is also true for all members of that class.
(EXAMPLE: "all men are mortal.Harold is a man. Therefore, harold is mortal.") for deductive reasoning to be sound, the hypothesis must be correct. it is assumed that the premise, "all men are mortal" and "harold is a man" are true.Therefore, the conclusion is logical and true.
