Question

question 1 determine the error in each example of deductive reasoning. a) it is snowing today and it only snows in december therefore it is december.

Explanation:

The error in the deductive - reasoning example is that the premise "it only snows in December" is too restrictive. Just because it is snowing does not necessarily mean it is December as there could be snow in other months in some regions. This is a case of over - generalization in the premise of the deductive argument.

Answer:

The error is an over - generalized premise. Just because it is snowing does not mean it is December since snow can occur in other months in some areas.
