Part 1: Inference means making your best guess based on what happened that you have read and given clues upon.
1.
I wouldn't eat after that two-year-old if I were you.
Inference: The two-year-old probably did something gross to the food you were
about to eat, or has a cold and you could catch it. Something bad will
happen to you if you eat it because he "I wouldn't" sounds like a
warning!
2.
For Valentine’s Day, my fantastic neighbor gave his wife a poem that took him
about two seconds to write. Sheesh.
Inference: My neighbor is not very considerate since he didn't take his time
writing the poem, the text clue that led me to this decision was the
"Sheesh". People usually say "Sheesh" when they are annoyed or
frustrated.
3.
A man ran after a retreating bus, waving his briefcase frantically.
Inference: The man probably missed the bus and needed to get on because he was waving his briefcase frantically at the bus. You would only do this action if you were missed your ride.
4.
If she died, I wouldn’t go to her funeral.
Inference: The 'I' person probably hated the 'she' person if the 'she' person was to die. Someone would only say this if they really hated the person who was to die.
5.
Jake almost wished that he hadn’t listened to the radio. He went to the closet
and grabbed his umbrella even though he would feel silly carrying it to the bus
stop on such a sunny morning.
Inference: Jake probably listened to the radio to only hear the weather would only be sunny in the morning and not in the afternoon though.
OR. They felt silly to bring an umbella on a sunny morning because someone needed to use it as a prop. Someone would only bring an umbella if it would rain that day or if they needed to use it tht day.
6.
Hey! What happened to all the school construction money taken from the
taxpayers? It paid for this toilet the money was flushed down.
Inference: The taxpayers probably gave the school construction money to make the school better, but they didn't use the money on the school. Instead they wasted the money on new toliets. Someone would only say this if the money was really wasted so someone would use an expression saying the money was flushed down the toliet like waste.
7.
As you give a speech in front of a large audience, you realize that people are
laughing behind their hands and pointing to the region below your waist.
Inference: As you were giving a speech in front of an audience, something down below your waist happened and the crowd was probably laughing at it. People who try to hide their laugh would only laugh behind their hands and point their finger to show their friends what they are laughing about or where to look thats funny.
8.
No, Honey, I don’t want you to spend a lot of money on my birthday present. Just
having you for a husband is the only gift I need. In fact, I’ll just drive my
old rusty bucket of bolts down to the mall and buy myself a little present. And
if the poor old car doesn't break down, I’ll be back soon.
Inference: The wife probably didn't want you to spend alot on a birthday present and instead hinting that she probably wanted you to spend it on a new car because at the end, she kinda hinted that her car was a old, rusty bucket of bolts and if the old car doesn't break down, she'll be back soon.
9.
A woman walks into a hospital clutching her abdomen and cursing out her husband,
who trails behind her carrying a large bag.
Inference: Her husband probably injured her wife's abdomen or not helping her at all when he injured her and is feeling gulity because he don't know how to help her. Someone who would only curse out her husband would probably be hating him and the husband who is trailing behind may feel guilty or embarrassed.
10.
You're driving on the highway, listening to the radio, and a police officer
pulls you over.
Inference: If your driving on the highway, listening to the radio, and a police officer pulls you over, you probably listening to the radio to loud and your distracted by driving crazy- cutting in front of people, e.t.c. A police officer would only pull you over unless you did something wrong.
