That is an inference (or “drawing a conclusion”).
Definition: an inference is a conclusion you reach by combining evidence from the text with your own reasoning or background knowledge — it’s not directly stated but is supported by the text.
Example: Text: “The sidewalks were wet and several people carried umbrellas.” Inference: “It had been raining.” Evidence: wet sidewalks and umbrellas; reasoning: people use umbrellas when it rains.
Tip: When you make an inference, cite the specific textual evidence and explain the reasoning that connects that evidence to your conclusion.
