“Making Inference”
An Inference Defined
In order to knock the verbal section of your standardized test or even the reading portion of your test in school right out of the ballpark, you need to know what an inference is, first. An inference is an assumption made based on specific evidence. We make inferences all the time in real life. For instance, your girlfriend might say to you, "Nice hair," and you could make the inference that she is being rude because she was smirking when she said it. In life, it's pretty easy to infer the implied meaning – the meaning not stated directly – because you can use context clues like body language, tone, and gestures to help you get the real meaning.
Inferences In Real Life
Inferences aren't wicked devices crafted by reading teachers to make your life miserable. All sorts of people use inferences in both their daily and professional lives all the time. Doctors make inferences when they diagnose conditions. They take a peek at X-rays, MRIs, observations and communication with the patient for evidence that will lead them to a diagnosis. Crime scene investigators make inferences when they follow clues like fingerprints, DNA, and footprints to find out how and when the crime was committed. Mechanics make inferences when they run diagnostics, tinker around in the engine, and chat with you about how your car is acting to figure out what's wrong under the hood.
Likewise, you infer things all the time. If someone stares angrily at you from the rearview mirror and mimics yelling when you're stopped behind them at a red light, you might come to the conclusion that you've offended him or her while driving in some way. If a woman is pushing a covered stroller down the street, you'd probably infer that there's a baby in the stroller.
Inferences and Guessing
Although an inference is a guess, it's an educated one. It's based on
