what is the answer

Answer 2

Readers use a combination of the following to make inferences about a text:

1. **Evidence from the text**
2. **Their life experiences**
3. **Connections to other texts**

While opinions can play a role in interpretation, they are not typically used as a primary basis for making inferences. The most comprehensive answer is that readers often use evidence from the text along with their life experiences and connections to other texts to draw inferences.

Answer 3

The most appropriate answer is **"evidence from the text."** This is the primary basis for making inferences about a text. However, life experiences and connections to other texts can also play a role in how readers interpret and understand the text. But if you need to choose just one response for your question, "evidence from the text" is the best choice.
