This implies by inferring the reader can better understand a text and grasp all the ideas the author conveys especially implicit ones. This process is also known as reading between lines because the reader needs to get the hidden meaning or ides, which are "between lines" or can be get through a deep examination of ideas in lines. In this context, the term "read between lines" can be replaced by the word "infer."
