In reading, inference refers to a guess or assumption the reader creates based on the information of a text. Inferences depend mainly on logical reasoning as the reader need to understand the ideas in a text and with these create connections that allow the reader to go beyond the text and make conjectures without modifying the original information. This means, inferences are educated guesses and therefore it is true "an inference is an educated guess based on what you already know and what you learn from reading a text".
