Which action best describes what you do when you "infer" information?

Wait for direct information
Make educated guesses based on evidence
Summarize the main ideas
Organize topics into categories

The correct answer is: Make educated guesses based on evidence

When you "infer" information, you are making educated guesses based on evidence rather than waiting for explicit details or direct statements. Inferring involves synthesizing information from various clues presented in the text, drawing on background knowledge, and piecing together context to develop an understanding of underlying themes, motives, or outcomes that may not be directly stated. It requires critical thinking and the ability to connect dots between the given information and broader concepts. This skill is essential for deeper comprehension and interpretation of texts, as it allows you to recognize implicit meanings and understand the nuances of communication. The ability to infer enhances reading comprehension, enabling you to engage with material on a more sophisticated level.
