Students complete nine inference sentences about a power outage, a letter bringing good news, and a wet sidewalk on a clear day. The matching activity pairs four scenario clues — sharing lunch, rehearsing lines, whistling while cooking, and a toddler hiding — with conclusions about generosity, dedication, cheerful mood, and shyness.
Matching behavioral clues to character traits reinforces the core habit of reading actions as evidence for deeper meaning.

Making Inferences and Drawing Conclusions
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The lights flickered and then went out. The family lit candles. You can infer there was a power outage.
2. Mr. Chen smiled widely when he read the letter. He probably received good news.
3. The sidewalk was wet, but the sky was clear. Someone probably used a hose to wash it.
4. Mia's eyes grew wide and she gasped when she opened the gift. She was surprised.
5. The student erased her answer and rewrote it twice. She was probably unsure about her response.
6. The line at the store stretched out the door. There was probably a big sale going on.
7. After the coach gave his speech, every player clapped. They were motivated by his words.
8. Smoke rose from the chimney even though it was July. Someone was probably cooking something inside.
9. The cat arched its back and hissed at the new puppy. The cat felt threatened.

Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
