  1. reasoning by elimination

    Reasoning by elimination, also known as process of elimination or POE, is a problem-solving strategy in which possible options or answers are systematically excluded or eliminated, allowing one to narrow down the pool and ultimately arrive at the correct option or answer. This method is particularly beneficial when there are multiple solutions to a problem and it is too complex or time-consuming to examine all of them individually.
