Consider the following situation: 1. Jane is examining quadrilaterals in her elementary mathematics class. 2. All of the quadrilaterals that Jane identifies have two pair of parallel sides. 3. Therefore, Jane concludes that all quadrilaterals have two pair of parallel sides. Jane's thought process is an example of a) O both inductive and deductive reasoning b) O deductive reasoning c) inductive reasoning d) O neither inductive nor deductive reasoning
