In inductive learning, which statement describes the learner's process?

• A. Learners generalize a rule from examples before practicing.
• B. The rule is presented first and then practiced.
• C. Learners memorize rules without examples.
• D. Language is learned through translation.

Answer: (A)

Inductive learning is about deriving a general rule by looking at concrete examples and then using or practicing with that rule. The idea is to infer patterns from the data first, so the learner generalizes what the examples show before applying it. That’s why the statement describing generalizing a rule from examples before practicing best fits inductive learning. It contrasts with presenting the rule first and then practicing (that’s more like deductive learning), memorizing rules without examples (rote learning), or learning language by translation, which isn’t about inferring patterns from examples.
