___ is the process of gathering objective information.
Tamiku [17]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Because the word inference means "a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning." This means that when the question asks the process of gathering objective information you would make inferences.

Which of these inferences is best supported by the stanza below (lines 1-14)?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

I do not see any answer choices, so I hope this helps.

Explanation:

This poem is about a crisis of faith.  Science is taking over and therefore, it seems to be replacing "faith".  The belief in the world of faith and religion is slipping away and it is going out like the tide does in the ocean/sea.  I read up on this some more and found it interesting that Matthew Arnold literally was able to stand and look at the straits of Dover on the English Channel.  

Cool beans.
