Which sentence would require a reader to make a an inference about what is happening

1 answer

An example of a sentence that would require a reader to make an inference about what is happening could be:

"She quietly placed the letter back in the envelope, her hands shaking slightly as she glanced over her shoulder."

In this sentence, the reader needs to infer why she is shaking and looking over her shoulder — it suggests anxiety or fear, but the specific reasons are not provided.
