Which line from the passage is an example of deductive reasoning? a) if a show gets good ratings, then it doesn't mean that show is good. b) if you are on a reality show, then you are making a fool of yourself. c) if you get on a reality show, then your mother should be proud of you. d) if you watch reality shows, then you are going to be more rude and aggressive.

Deductive reasoning is the process of reasoning from one or more statements to reach a logically certain conclusion. 

"C" is the best answer. The other choices don't have a very logical approach when it comes to a conclusion. If a show gets good ratings, it is probably a decent show. If you are on a reality show, you may or may not make a fool of yourself. Just because you watch reality TV shows, doesn't mean you are going to be naturally more aggressive. 

I hope this helps!
