Inference: The Hidden Truth 🕵️

Questions ask what is implied but not explicitly stated.

  • "Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1?"

Strategy

  1. Avoid answers that are stated directly (those are Factual questions, often traps here).
  2. Look for logic: If A causes B, and B happened, maybe A happened.
  3. Logical Steps: Text: "He was wet and holding an umbrella." -> Inference: "It was raining."
