Study Notes
Detecting Inferences
-
Inference Defined: A deduction based on reasoning, used to understand missing information in pictures or texts.
-
Inference Example Scenarios:
- Giraffes Location: Giraffes inside a fence, with someone feeding them, strongly suggest a zoo.
- Mountain Climber's Feelings: Reaching a mountaintop implies feelings of pride, excitement, or success, considering the effort involved.
- Police Officer Inference: A person wearing a badge, uniform, helping people in trouble, and traveling in a car with sirens points to police officer.
Inferences from Text
- Inference Types: Inferences can determine who, where, why, how, or character feelings from limited information.
- Example Inference Scenario (Who): A person wearing a uniform, badge, helping people in trouble, and arriving in a car with sirens, is likely a police officer.
- Example Inference Scenario (Where): A family needing jackets, waterproof boots, fishing rods, worms, and sleeping bags is going on a camping or outdoor adventure.
- Example Inference Scenario (How): A student excitedly taking care of a hamster, quickly cleaning the cage, quickly putting the hamster back, and the hamster escaping, suggests the student forgot to lock the cage.
- Example Inference Scenario (Feelings): A person consistently helping a brother out of trouble, without thanks, is likely feeling frustrated or unhappy.
