The sentence that would require a reader to make an inference about what is happening is:

"Jessica's hands trembled as she read the letter, a single tear escaping her eye and splashing onto the paper."

This sentence suggests a strong emotional reaction from Jessica, but does not explicitly state what the letter contains or why she is upset, leaving the reader to infer the underlying feelings or circumstances.
