Answer: I believe the right answer to be the third option, letter C. hyperbole and inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

The statement presents inductive reasoning, not a deductive one. Inductive reasoning starts from specific examples and facts and then moves on to a generalized conclusion. The speaker moves from observing specific Boxers to concluding that all Boxers (generalization) behave in the same manner. Deductive reasoning would do the opposite, moving from general principles to a specific conclusion. Thus, we can eliminate options B and D.

A hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used to give emphasis to the message the speaker wants to convey. In this case, the exaggeration comes from comparing the dogs to tornados. The speaker's intention is to have the reader visualize the mess a Boxer dog is able to leave behind it by having the reader picture the mess left by a tornado. Of course, what the dog can do is not nearly as catastrophic as what the tornado can. Therefore, a hyperbole is used.

Do your experiences at this time of pandemic change the way you decide on things? in what way??

natima [27]

Answer with Explanation:

Yes, my experience at this time of pandemic changed the way I decide on things. For example, <em>I decided to spend more time at home rather than going to the mall,</em> which I normally did before the pandemic. I believe this will lessen the possibility of my contracting the corona virus.<em> I also celebrated my birthday at home with my family instead of celebrating it with my classmates</em>. Instead of going to the restaurant to eat or take out food, I'd order through Food Apps. In this case, I don't need to commute <em>(as this increases my exposure to the virus)</em> and it's more convenient.

If ever I go out of the house, I make sure to bring a mask and an alcohol with me. Upon going home, I also make sure to take a bath. Such things are now included in my decisions.
