- A.
Inductive reasoning
- B.
Docorum
- C.
Deductive reasoning
- D.

Correct Answer
B. DocorumExplanation
The correct answer is "Docorum." This is because "Docorum" is not a tool of rhetorical logos. Rhetorical logos refers to the use of logical reasoning and evidence to persuade an audience. Inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, and enthymeme are all examples of tools that can be used to support logical arguments and appeal to logos. However, "Docorum" does not fit into this category as it refers to the principles of appropriate behavior and etiquette in communication, rather than logical reasoning.Rate this question:
