Answer 1

Readers use **evidence from the text** to make inferences about a text. However, they also often draw on **connections to other texts** and **their life experiences** to enrich their understanding and interpretations. While **their own opinions** can play a role, the strongest basis for making inferences typically comes from evidence within the text itself.
