Analogical reasoning is an approach to understanding patterns and their relevance to contemporary challenges. Select one: a. past b. present c. future d. environmental e. weather

Option A: Analogical reasoning is an approach to understanding past patterns.

Explanation:

When a person applies analogical reasoning they compare something in their current environment with past phenomena to help understand what is transpiring. Organizations use earlier cases to try to understand how their actions might affect the future.  While analogies can be useful, the past does not repeat in the future in any simple way. You have to be able to discern what is important in the pattern and how it can be applied forward to inform on present actions. When applying analogical reasoning there needs to be careful attention to the similarities and differences between the phenomena or cases being contrasted and compared.
