Inference questions
Answer inference questions without overreaching beyond the text.
Inference questions reward cautious reasoning. The correct answer is the safest conclusion supported by the passage, not the most exciting idea.
- Inference is a small step, not a leap
- Extreme language is a red flag
- Support must be traceable to the text
- Modest answers are often correct
- Eliminate new claims first
