### Two Elements of Deductive Reasoning
1. **General Principle**: Deductive reasoning starts with a general statement or hypothesis that is assumed to be true.
2. **Specific Conclusion**: It then applies this general principle to a specific case to arrive at a conclusion that must also be true if the general principle is valid.

### Two Elements of Inductive Reasoning
1. **Observations or Evidence**: Inductive reasoning begins with specific observations or evidence gathered from particular instances or examples.
2. **General Conclusion**: It then extrapolates from these specific instances to formulate a general conclusion or theory, which may not necessarily be true but is supported by the evidence.
