<em>C. Using what you have read and what you already know to make a judgment about what something means.</em>
<u>Inferences</u> are based on <u>reasoning</u> and <u>judgment</u> to make a successful conclusion about a subject after collecting enough evidence, and accurate texts to confirm such a conclusion is reliable and convincing.
In literature, for example, a reader can infer that a character is a crime suspect through visual cues and hints carefully given by the author.
One way to show that a statement is not a good definition is to find a counterexample. A counterexample will show that there are more views on any subject.
