Explanation:

To complete the "Your Sentence" for the second row, we can use the meaning of "deduction" (logical reasoning, or in the context of the clue, a form of reasoning that connects pieces like a footprint to a motive) to create a sentence.

Step 1: Understand the word's meaning and context

The word "deduction" here (in the Sherlock Holmes context) relates to logical reasoning to connect clues (like a footprint) to a conclusion (like a motive). The clue also mentions "reasoning, subtraction" (but in the detective context, it’s more about logical inference).

Step 2: Craft a sentence using "deduction"

We can frame a sentence showing how deduction helps a detective. For example: "A detective uses deduction to connect evidence like a footprint to a suspect’s motive, solving cases efficiently."

Answer:

A detective uses deduction to connect evidence like a footprint to a suspect’s motive, solving cases efficiently.
