Making Inferences in Expository Text: Test Prep *Freebie! - Buzzing with Ms. B
When it comes to making inferences, the test is likely asking them to do two different things. They need to: 1. Use evidence from the text to make an inference. OR 2. Locate evidence from the text to support an inference that has already been made.For example, in the question, “Based on the details in paragraph 4, the reader can conclude…” is asking students to use the evidence in paragraph four to create a conclusion. This means that the right answer will not be directly stated in the text.
