Reading skill
Make a simple inference without guessing
Combine two clear clues to reach a practical conclusion that the text supports.
Start with stated facts
Write the two details that matter. An inference must be built from the text, not from a personal story or outside knowledge.
Use cautious language
The text may suggest that someone is worried, late or likely to act. It rarely proves every detail about the person's feelings or future.

Reject unsupported choices
An answer can sound realistic but still be wrong if the passage does not provide the needed clue.
Explain the link
Practise saying: because the text says A and B, the best conclusion is C. If you cannot explain the link, reread.
