The purpose of an antagonist in the story is to hinder the main character(s) from achieving their goal. The antagonist does not always have to be the main villain, but just has evil intentions to the main characters. A perfect example of this (in my opinion) would be Boba Fett from<em> The Empire Strikes Back</em>, he was not the main villain, but was hired by the main villain of the original trilogy to stop the main group from achieving their goals, and did have evil intentions towards them.
Yeah it means like you do something because something happened so like say people are talking about me then I get paranoid because I think everyone does then talking about me because I heard one person yes and that is what it means to not try to switch up the definitions in your little head
Before answering to the question, let us analyze a little bit the meaning of both concepts:
Inferencing is the inner mental ability of reasoning to analyze different situations or problems and to produce a general idea or rule about such situation or problems. This is could be better understood with a little analysis of the Inductive reasoning, but I think it is pretty clear so far.
Inflection refers to the ability of the vocal spectrum to change the tone of words to convey different meaning or purposes.
So, having mentioned the former, the statement that contrast inferencing and inflection is:
Inferencing occurs in the mind and inflection occurs with the voice.
it means that the narrortor is either taking you back in time or in the future. that is really my favorite part of all movies
