    Question

    The deductive method differs from the inductive method in drawing its conclusions from:

    A.

    Verification

    B.

    Particular Instances

    C.

    Applications

    D.

    General truths

    Correct option is D

    Explanation:
    The deductive method starts from general principles or truths and applies them to specific cases to derive conclusions. On the other hand, the inductive method begins with particular instances or observations and works upward to establish general principles.

    Information Booster:
    Deductive Method:
    Moves from general to specific.
    Often used in theoretical and logical reasoning.
    Example: "All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal."
    Inductive Method:
    Moves from specific observations to general conclusions.
    Common in empirical sciences and research.
    Example: Observing that the sun rises in the east every morning and concluding that the sun always rises in the east.

    Additional Knowledge:
    Verification: This refers to the process of confirming a hypothesis but does not distinguish between deductive and inductive reasoning.
    Particular instances: Induction specifically draws conclusions from these, not deduction.
    Applications: Both methods may involve applications but are not fundamental to defining either.
