To determine which inference is best supported by the details in the passage, we would need to examine the context and specific information provided in the passage itself. Since the passage isn’t included here, a definitive answer can’t be given. However, I can help you understand how to evaluate each option based on textual evidence.
-
The ship’s Captain has traveled widely. - This inference would be supported if the passage includes descriptions of the Captain's experiences or travels.
-
Harborough grew up in a city. - This would be a valid inference if the passage gives background information about Harborough's upbringing or environment.
-
Most people who travel by sea cannot swim. - This inference would be supported by evidence that discusses people's swimming abilities in relation to sea travel.
-
Harborough feels he is superior to others. - This inference would need to be backed by details that show Harborough's attitudes or thoughts about himself compared to others.
If you have access to the passage, review it for details that support one of these inferences most strongly. If you want, you can share that passage, and I can help you analyze it for the best-supported inference!
