a wrestlers ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. each wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. if he finishes the tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. if he has a losing record, his ranking falls. if it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. the eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical victory. which type of reasoning is being used here? deductive complete what piece of information suggests that some wrestlers will have an incentive to cheat in certain matches? wrestlers rankings are based on their performances in elite tournaments. a wrestler with a 7 - 7 record has more to gain from winning than someone with a record of 8 - 6 has to lose. done

Answer

# Brief Explanations: For the first - part, deductive reasoning starts with general principles (the ranking system based on tournament performance) and applies them to specific cases. For the second - part, a wrestler with a 7 - 7 record has more to gain from winning (as it can push them to a winning record and improve their ranking) compared to a wrestler with an 8 - 6 record who has less to lose from a loss. This creates an incentive for the 7 - 7 record wrestler to cheat. # Answer: Which type of reasoning is being used here? deductive What piece of information suggests that some wrestlers will have an incentive to cheat in certain matches?
