Question

To make an inference readers use A a literary reviewer opinions about the text B a reader personal connection C evidence from the selected text D biographical information about the author

Answer 1

To make an inference, readers typically use **C: evidence from the selected text**. Inferences are conclusions drawn based on the information and clues provided within the text itself. While personal connections (B) and literary reviews (A) can influence readers' interpretations, the most direct basis for making an inference comes from the text's content and context. Biographical information about the author (D) may provide additional context but is not essential for making inferences about the text itself.
