The argument derives its conclusion by

  1. Adopting a purely speculative approach

  2. Dismissing alternative explanations without consideration

  3. Employing a deductive reasoning process

  4. Analyzing personal anecdotes for general truths

The correct answer is: Employing a deductive reasoning process

The argument derives its conclusion by employing a deductive reasoning process. Deductive reasoning involves drawing specific conclusions from general principles or premises. In this case, the argument likely presents a series of premises or facts, then uses logical inference to reach a specific conclusion based on those premises. Deductive reasoning enables the arguer to make a logical connection between the evidence presented and the conclusion drawn, making it a strong method for deriving valid conclusions.
