of inductive reasoning?

Respuesta :

The answer is D) John gets a pain in his side when he runs for more than a mile. He believes that all runners feel pain after running for more than a mile.

Answer: D. John gets a pain in his side when he runs for more than a mile. He believes that all runners feel pain after running for more than a mile.

Explanation: This is an example of induction, because John's reasoning starts from an individual, particular experience (his pain after running for more than a mile) which gets generalized as if it was valid for all cases (all runners, not only me, must feel pain after running for more than a mile).
