The answer is: figure out meaning based on what you already know and what the text says

To infer something from the passage, you need to read it and able to understand the meaning of the passage without actually put too much focus on the passage.

Passage inference could be considered as a reading skills. This usually tested when you do an SAT test to measure how much information you can gather from reading a certain text within a short period of time.

Alexeev081 [22]

The answer is: how hot the spear is.  

An epic simile, or Homeric simile, is a comparison between something familiar or ordinary and something strange. It is usually many lines long and it helps the reader make the scene described, usually at moments of turmoil or battle, more vivid. In the epic simile above, Homer makes the reader understand how hot the spear that blinds the cyclops is by comparing the eye of the cyclops to a cold tub as the spear that blinded him penetrates it, just like a piece of metal would enter a tub in order to be molded.

andrew11 [14]
A non-restrictive modifier add information that does not restrict who the subject can refer to (compare to "The one Marlena that enjoys many subjects" -this one restricts the subject to a specific Marlena). Here it's "who enjoys many different subjects" - it adds additional information about her, but doesn't change the referent.
