Inference

A logical conclusion a reader draws by combining clues in the text with general knowledge — something the passage strongly implies but never states outright.

Inference questions often use stems like ‘the passage suggests’ or ‘the reader can conclude.’ The correct answer is supported by specific lines in the passage even though it is never written there word for word.
