Answer:

Rodolfo listens to Liza's speech about motorcycles. Liza hints that you cannot successfully ride a motorcycle without a lot of practice, and Rodolfo assumes that means riding a motorcycle is difficult. In this example, Liza is implying and Rodolfo is inferring.

Explanation:

To imply means to suggest something without saying it overtly. On the other hand, to infer means to assume or deduce something from hints or reasoning, rather than explicit statements. In a communicative interaction, the speaker can imply while the listener can infer. That is precisely the situation we have here. Liza does not openly say that riding a motorcycle is difficult. However, she implies it when she states it requires a lot of practice. From her statement, Rodolfo infers, concludes, that it is indeed difficult to ride a motorcycle.
