3. Read the sentence from paragraph 6 and answer the question below.
"The heavier the spacecraft, the harder it is to launch. And fuel is heavy. So it was critical to pinpoint the fuel needed, add a cushion, then take no more than necessary"
In the passage, what type of reasoning does the author primarily use to argue her rationale for the fuel safety measures needed to make the landing? (R.2.4)
A. Inductive Reasoning: The author starts with specific instances and creates a general conclusion about lunar landings.
B. Deductive Reasoning: The author begins with a general premise and draws specific conclusions about the conditions required for the amount of fuel needed
C. Abductive Reasoning: The author forms the best explanation given the available evidence, considering the potential challenges for landing on the moon.
D. Analogical Reasoning: The author draws parallels between different situations to illustrate the challenges and complexities associated with landing a spacecraft.​



Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The passage primarily utilizes Deductive Reasoning.

It begins with a general premise that heavier spacecraft are harder to launch because fuel is heavy. Then, it draws specific conclusions about the conditions required for the amount of fuel needed for a successful landing on the moon.
