A. Conflict

B. Evidence

C. Setting

D. Resolution

The correct answer to this question is B. Evidence

Explanation:

Making inferences implies to draw reasonable conclusions. This process involves analyzing the evidence of the text because this is the support of the inference and using background knowledge or information you already know.

For example, if the text describes one character decided not to study for an important test even though he was not an expert in the subject, it can be inferred the character will most likely fail the test because the evidence in the text shows the character is not prepared for the test and based on background knowledge such as personal experience, you can conclude the consequence is that the character will not pass the exam. Thus, the best way to make inferences is to combine background knowledge with evidence provided in the text.
