INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An MLA "Works Cited" entry normally begins with the name of the author. However, for film entries, begin with the name of the film. Use title case, and place a period at the end of the name of the movie. Example: Deadpool. Type a space after the period following the name of the film. In regular font, type the phrase "Directed by," then list the name of the director in first name-last name format. Place a period after the director's name. Example: Deadpool. Directed by Tim Miller. If you refer to specific performances, or characters, in your research paper or presentation, include their names after the phrase "Performances by." Separate names with commas, using the word "and" before the final name. Place a period at the end of the final name. Example: Deadpool. Directed by Tim Miller. Performances by Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, and T. J. Miller. If the performers aren't relevant to your research paper or presentation, you can leave out this part of the citation. In place of the publication information you might use for a book, for a film you provide the name of the studio that produced the film, followed by a comma. End your entry with the year the film was released at the box office, followed by a period. Example: Deadpool. Directed by Tim Miller. Performances by Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, and T. J. Miller. Marvel Entertainment, 2016. Double check to make sure you're using the name of the company that produced the film, not the company that distributed it. MLA typically uses author and page number for in-text citations. Since films don't have page numbers and the movie title is listed first in your "Works Cited" entry, simply use the name of the film. Italicize the name of the film in your parenthetical citation, since it is italicized in the "Works Cited" entry. Example: (Deadpool).

SUMMARY: Start with the name of the film in italics. Provide the name of the director. Include the names of performers, if relevant. List the production company and year of release. Use the title of the movie in parenthetical in-text citations.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Deductive reasoning is often used to make inferences in science and math, as you must use formal logic to support a conclusion or a solution. You can use deductive reasoning in a science class or a math class to test an existing theory or hypothesis. In science, you can then support your conclusions with experimental data. In math, you can support your proof with supporting proofs or equations. Deductive reasoning is often represented as the general (X) and the specific (Y). There are three steps to forming a deductive argument. First: You will note that every X (general) has the characteristic Y (specific). Second: You will note that the thing you are trying to prove is X (the general). Third: You can deduce the thing you are trying to prove has the characteristic Y (the specific). For example, you may start with the general idea: Every rose has thorns. You may then note: The thing in my hand is a rose. You can then make a deductive argument: Therefore, this thing I am holding can probably prick me. From this deductive argument, you can do further experiments to find cases where your argument may not be true. For example, you may try to find roses that do not contain thorns or that can be manipulated to not grow thorns. You may also investigate why roses have thorns and what purpose thorns serve on roses. You can use deductive reasoning as part of your scientific method in science class. Forming a deductive argument is an important step in a scientific study, as it allows you to make assumptions about your hypothesis and then test those assumptions through experiments. You can then use the data from the experiments to confirm or dispute your hypothesis. Start by observing a phenomenon that forms a problem or question. For example, you may observe in your chemistry class that noble gases are stable. You may then make a hypothesis by using deductive reasoning. Noble gases are stable. Neon is a noble gas. Therefore, you can deduce that neon is stable. You can then design an experiment that supports or refutes your hypothesis. This may be an experiment where you test and observe neon's reaction to certain environments, particularly environments where it is clear when a gas is stable or unstable. You will then collect the data from the experiment and analyze the data. The data should be given a rigorous analysis to ensure your conclusion is well supported. Finally, you will make a conclusion using the data. You will need to determine if the experiment refutes or supports your hypothesis, or your deductive argument. If it confirms your hypothesis, you can confirm your deductive argument: Noble gases are stable. Neon is a noble gas. Therefore, neon is stable. In mathematics, deductive reasoning can be used to formulate the answer to a mathematical problem. The more complex the mathematical problem is, the more complex your deductive argument (or proof) will need to be. In the most basic form, a deductive argument in mathematics could be represented by: If A=B and B=C, then A=C. This means that you make a general argument: A=B. You then note a more specific argument: B=C. You can then deduce the following argument or proof: A=C.
Summary: Understand deductive reasoning in relation to science and mathematics. Apply deductive reasoning to a scientific problem. Solve a math problem with a deductive argument.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Usually the drain of a washing machine is a pipe behind the machine that the hose on the machine pours into. The hose is sometimes attached tightly to the drain or the hose may simply be pushed inside of it. When identifying where the drain is, you will need to differentiate it from the hot and cold water lines coming into the washer. The hot and cold water lines should be smaller than the drain pipe and they may be marked with the colors red and blue, to show which is hot and which is cold. If your washing machine is draining slowly but it is not completely clogged, you can try simply pouring very hot water down the drain to clear it out. This can release built up soap and scum that is narrowing your drainage pipe. If you run your washer on hot most of the time, then this may not work for your drainage problem, as you have been doing this repeatedly. However, if you only run cold cycles, then pouring hot water down the drain may be worth a try. In areas that freeze during the winter, drainage pipes can freeze and get blocked up with ice. If your area is frozen and you think you have a clogged drain, try pouring hot water down the drain to get rid of any ice that may have accumulated. If your washing machine drain is clogged, one way to clear it is to use a commercial drain cleaner. In general, these products can be very helpful for minor clogs but have limitations when it comes to unclogging a completely clogged pipe. When buying a commercial drain cleaner, be sure to get one that is safe to use with your specific type of pipes and your type of drainage system. Some strong products that contain sulfuric acid can actually damage PVC pipes and they are generally not good for the environment as well. To use a commercial drain cleaner, you will need to detach the drain line from the machine and put the cleaner straight into the drain. On some machines you can simply pull the tube coming off the machine out of the drainage pipe. On some, however, you will need to unscrew the drainage tube from the machine at the bottom of the back of the machine. If you are doing this, be prepared for some water to come out of the machine and the hose to the drain. This usually begins by pouring the product down your drain with some very hot water. Then you will need to wait a specified amount of time for the product to do its work. Finally, you will need to flush the drain once the product has had time to clear it. Be sure to rinse out the drain cleaner after the specified amount of time. Leaving it on too long can damage the pipes.

SUMMARY:
Find the drain. Pour hot water down the drain. Buy a commercial drain cleaner. Detach the drain. Follow the directions on the packaging.
