Inference

Video Summary

Inference is a type of question that asks you to make a logical conclusion based on the information provided in the passage. The answer to an inference question is not explicitly stated in the passage, but it can be inferred from the information that is given. To answer an inference question, you need to be able to identify the relevant information in the passage and then use that information to make a logical conclusion. Sometimes, the answer to an inference question is just a paraphrase of the text. Other times, you may need to do some additional reasoning to reach the correct answer. Here are some tips for answering inference questions: * **Identify the relevant information in the passage.** The relevant information is the information that you need to make the logical conclusion. This information may be explicitly stated in the passage, or it may be implied. * **Make a logical conclusion based on the information that you have.** The conclusion should be supported by the information in the passage. It should not be a wild guess or an opinion. * **Check your answer to make sure that it is reasonable.** The answer should make sense based on the information in the passage. It should not be illogical or contradictory.
