    hintHint:

    Reasoning is drawing conclusions using statements and pictures. There are two types of reasonings they are deductive and inductive. In deductive reasoning we use general statements or facts to draw specific conclusions out of it whereas in inductive reasoning we use specific observations to draw general conclusions. Here, we have to draw the conclusion using given statements.

    The correct answer is: Valid

      In the question the given statements are
      1. If an animal is a dog, then they like biscuits.
      2. Sammy is a dog.
      The drawn conclusion is Sammy likes biscuits.
      Here, we have to determine whether the drawn conclusion is valid or not.
      From the given question we can say that, it is said that if an animal is dog, it likes biscuit. Sammy is dog.
      The given statement matches with the given hypothesis. So, we can say that Sammy may like biscuits.
      So, the drawn conclusion is valid.
      Therefore, the correct option is b, i.e., valid.
