-"The Gardner put some new soil down to help cover the gopher holes." You can now assume that soil has to do with gardening because it says so in the text. You can also infer that they used it to cover gopher holes. You can now get a better understanding because gophers like to dig holes in dirt. Using these clues you can predict soil is dirt.
