please follow the instruction in the paper attached below
Instructions: In class we discussed the logic behind inductive and deductive reasoning, as well as specific examples of each of these types of reasoning. For this activity, you will watch a short scene from the movie Sherlock Holmes (2009) in which Sherlock Holmes uses reasoning to reach conclusions about his friend Dr. Watson’s new fiancé, Mary Morstan. You will then decompose the premises and conclusions of arguments within this scene. Refer to class notes from Units 10 (Logical Reasoning) as well as the Facione and Gittens (2013) readings from each of these units to help you complete this activity.
- Watch the scene from Sherlock Holmes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=388-rOzD9SM) and address each of the following:
- Besides detective work as we saw in the Sherlock Holmes scene, describe in 2-3 sentences a real-life situation that may rely on the use of deductive and inductive reasoning.
a.Choose two arguments from the scene.
b.Identify whether each argument is inductive or deductive.
c.Construct the argument using the following format:
Premise #1: _______________________
Premise #2: _______________________
Conclusion: _______________________
Hint: if an argument you chose is deductive, also make sure to follow the appropriate language template (e.g., denying the consequent, applying a generalization, etc.).

``You are a governess. Your student is a boy of eight. He flicked ink on you today.’’
This is an inductive reasoning. Sherlock Holmes being analytic as he identifies the ink on
Mary Morstan’s ear and makes a generalization from the evidence. Here he assumes that the ink
is evidence of her being a teacher hires to teach children in private lesson at home. He assumes the
age of the student...
