Identify the reasoning pattern in the following statement:
"Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it every day, and soon it cannot be broken."
Choose the correct answer from the options below:

Correct option is B

This statement uses analogical reasoning, where a comparison is made between habits and a cable to illustrate how habits are formed over time. The analogy helps explain how small, repetitive actions (strands of a cable) accumulate and result in a strong, unbreakable habit (a strong cable).
Information booster:
· Causal reasoning (a) involves explaining something based on cause and effect, which is not the focus of this analogy.
· Reasoning from authority (c) appeals to the expertise or credibility of a person or source to make an argument, which is not relevant here.
· Reasoning from definition (d) involves using the definition of a term or concept to make an argument, which does not apply to this analogy.
Additional Knowledge:
1. Analogical reasoning compares two different things by showing their similarities to explain or illustrate a concept.
2. This type of reasoning is often used to simplify complex ideas by relating them to something more familiar.
