Deductive Paragraph Example

To better understand the deductive paragraph, consider the following example:

• Example 1

The soaring price of chili has made people distraught [1]. Chili is consumed by almost all Indonesian people[2]. People from the bottom to the top like to eat chili [3]. Either directly or as a mixture in food [4]. And when the price of chili rises, all the people start to open their voices[5]. The price of cayenne pepper can now reach Rp. 140,000/kg[6]. This price has increased 3 times from previous prices [7]. This price increase is thought to be a result of weather bad[8]. The supply from farmers is decreasing and causing the availability of chili in the market to also fall [9]. In Jakarta alone, the supply of chili that used to be 150-200 tons is now only 50 tons[10]. The scarcity of chili makes people and home industries that depend on the existence of chilies have to rack their brains [11]. Another alternative must be done immediately while waiting for government action to overcome chili prices so that they return to normal [12].

Sentence main: The soaring price of chili has made people distraught. (general)

Supporting sentences after the main sentence (sentence 2 – sentence 12) are special, in the form of reasons for the main sentence.

• Example 2

Several factors can cause a pregnant woman to have difficulty giving birth normally. The first factor is the condition of the breech baby. The condition of the baby where the head is still above will be difficult to be born normally. Before delivery, the baby's head should be down. The second factor is the condition of the baby's placenta. When the baby's placenta covers the birth canal, normal delivery will be difficult. This situation is very worrying for the baby's safety. The third condition is the size of the mother's hips. If the size of the mother's hips is too small then the way out for the baby to be born is also small. For the safety of the mother and baby, pregnant women with small hips are advised to perform a cesarean section. Another factor is the state of hypertension or diabetes in pregnant women. Pregnant women who suffer from this disease require serious treatment. The normal delivery process will have an effect, especially on hypertension suffered by the mother. So it is highly recommended to do a caesarean section.

Main sentence: Several factors can cause a pregnant woman to have difficulty giving birth normally. (general)

Supporting sentences after the main sentence are special, in the form of details of the main sentence.
