Inferences and Conclusions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The audience clapped loudly and gave a standing ovation, so the performance must have been boring.
Rewrite: The audience clapped loudly and gave a standing ovation, so the performance must have been excellent.
2. Fix the sentence:
Leo wore a heavy coat, boots, and a scarf, so the weather must be hot outside.
Rewrite: Leo wore a heavy coat, boots, and a scarf, so the weather must be cold outside.
3. Fix the sentence:
The baby kept rubbing her eyes and yawning, so she must be full of energy.
Rewrite: The baby kept rubbing her eyes and yawning, so she must be tired.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. When authors do not state something directly, readers must infer it from the clues.
2. A conclusion should be based on details from the text, not just a wild guess.
3. If a character clenches her fists and raises her voice, you can infer she is angry.
4. Readers combine text clues with their own experiences to understand what the author means.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. A passage says: "The sidewalk was covered with colorful chalk drawings, but the sky turned gray and rain began to fall." What can you infer will happen to the drawings?
The rain will probably wash away the chalk drawings because chalk dissolves in water.
2. Why might two readers draw different conclusions from the same passage?
Two readers may have different background knowledge or experiences, which can lead them to focus on different clues and reach different conclusions.
