Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Khloe is using hypothetical-deductive reasoning, which involves identifying a problem, generating hypotheses or possible explanations, and then systematically testing those hypotheses to arrive at a solution. She is considering multiple options for dealing with the difficulties in her friendship and weighing the potential outcomes of each, which is a key component of hypothetical-deductive reasoning. This type of reasoning is most commonly associated with adolescence and young adulthood, and is an important cognitive skill for problem-solving and decision-making.
