\n" ); document.write( "You start with a general statement, like:
\n" ); document.write( "\"Every square is a rectangle\".
\n" ); document.write( "You then make a claim.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Figure A is a square\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then you deduce something about the claim based on the general statement.
