Which among the following is NOT a common pattern of deductive reasoning?

A predictive argument is not a standard pattern of deductive reasoning.

Prediction reasons from past or present observation to a future case that is not guaranteed.

Its conclusion is at best probable, so it belongs to induction.

Hypothetical and categorical syllogisms, by contrast, yield conclusions that follow necessarily.

Argument from definition also secures its conclusion by meaning alone, hence deductive.

The future-facing, probabilistic character of prediction places it outside deduction.
