    Deductive reasoning is ______________ to _______________

    Explanation
    Deductive reasoning is a logical process that involves drawing conclusions based on general principles or premises. It starts with a general statement or premise and then uses logical reasoning to reach a specific conclusion. In this process, the general statement serves as the foundation, and the specific conclusion is derived from it through logical deductions. Therefore, deductive reasoning can be described as moving from the general to the specific.

    Explanation
    Inductive reasoning is a type of logical thinking that involves drawing general conclusions based on specific observations or evidence. It starts with specific instances and then generalizes to form a broader understanding or theory. This process allows individuals to make predictions or form hypotheses about future events or situations based on past experiences or patterns. Therefore, the correct answer, "specific to general," accurately describes the nature of inductive reasoning.

    This is personification: The computer crawled through cyberspace.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given sentence "The computer crawled through cyberspace" is an example of personification because it attributes human-like qualities (crawling) to a non-human object (computer). Personification is a literary device where inanimate objects are given human characteristics to make them more relatable or vivid. In this case, it creates a vivid image of the computer moving slowly and deliberately through the virtual world of cyberspace. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Personification is a figure of speech in which human characteristics are attributed to non-human things. In this case, the statement "The book" does not give any indication of human characteristics being attributed to it. Therefore, it does not represent personification. Hence, the correct answer is false.

It is a form of figurative language that helps create vivid imagery and convey complex ideas in a concise and impactful way. Therefore, the statement that a metaphor compares two things without using like or as is true.
