Answer 1

The sentence that would require a reader to make an inference about what is happening is:

**Jessica's hands trembled as she read the letter, a single tear escaping her eye and splashing onto the paper.**

This sentence implies emotions and a situation that is not explicitly stated, leading readers to infer the reason behind Jessica's reaction and the content of the letter. The other sentences provide clear, straightforward information without requiring inference.
