Question

a paragraph proof
contains a set of
sentences
explaining the
steps needed to
reach a
conclusion.

contains a table
with a logical
series of
statements and
reasons.

uses a visual
chart of the logical
flow of steps
needed to reach a
conclusion.

uses inductive
reasoning to
prove a
statement.

Explanation:

To determine the correct description of a paragraph proof:

• A paragraph proof contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion (this matches the definition: it’s a written explanation in paragraph form, using sentences to detail reasoning).
• A table with statements/reasons is a two - column proof, not a paragraph proof.
• A visual chart of logical flow is a flowchart proof, not a paragraph proof.
• Inductive reasoning is for generalizing from examples, while proofs (including paragraph proofs) typically use deductive reasoning.

Answer:

contains a set of sentences explaining the steps needed to reach a conclusion
