What are three methods of reasoning you can use when making a logical appeal, and how do they differ?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Logical appeals can take place through analogy, induction, or deduction. With analogy, you reason from specific evidence to specific evidence, in effect "borrowing" from something familiar to explain something unfamiliar. With inductive reasoning, you work from specific evidence to a general conclusion. With deductive reasoning, you work from a generalization to a specific conclusion.
