Inductive: # Inductive Inductive reasoning is a way of thinking where you gather specific examples or observations and use them to draw a general conclusion. For instance, if you notice that every apple you've eaten from a particular tree was red, you might inductively conclude that all apples from that tree are red. It's the opposite of deductive reasoning, which starts with a general rule and applies it to specific cases.
