To provide you with a valid inference about Jules Verne based on an article about Nellie Bly going undercover to expose the abuse of the mentally ill, I would need specific details or excerpts from that article.
If you can provide me with a specific aspect of that text or any mention of Jules Verne, I can help you infer relevant information based on that context. Otherwise, general inferences about Jules Verne would relate to his themes of exploration and social commentary in his literary works, which could connect to themes of human rights and societal issues, similar to the ones addressed by Nellie Bly.
