Question

Which sentence correctly uses the firstdefinition for the following word:infer1. to hint, imply, suggest2. to draw a conclusion through reasoning
A. The mean girl held her nose to infer that I smelled.
B. I could infer from her tone that I was in trouble.
C. What can you infer about the father-son relationship from the first paragraph of this story?

Answer 1

A is a very unreasonable inference because since they are mean, they could do it whenever they like. It could mean to someone else, or even if you didn't stink, they'll still use that gesture.
B could be a very dangerous tone to choose from. You can easily tell from the voice, yet their expression may be a different inference.
C could not mean anything. It could take the last paragraph to infer.
In conclusion, it could be either B or C.
