Final answer:

Deductive reasoning is used to draw conclusions based on given premises, making the conjecture about the disappearing milk valid.


Explanation:

True. The given scenario about the milk in the refrigerator being gone and the conjecture that someone in the house drank it is a valid inference based on deductive reasoning.

Inductive reasoning involves drawing general conclusions from specific observations, whereas deductive reasoning uses premises to reach a specific conclusion that follows logically.

For example, in deductive reasoning, if the premises state 'If someone drank the last of the milk, then the milk will be gone,' and 'The milk is gone,' the valid conclusion is 'Someone in the house drank the milk.'
