makes the inference that photojournalists need to be willing
to take risks. Read the excerpt and then answer the
question
In Afghanistan, the number of landmines was so high that I

great perspective shots, and it was better than walking on
crutches, which I saw everywhere.

inference?

A) he remembered a photo exhibit he had seen where the photographer worked on stilts and connected the risk of injury to the use of stilts in the photojournalists memoir.

B) He inferred that there must be a high number of land mines and combined that inference with the fact that the photojournalist spent a whole day on stilts

C) He combined the fact that the photojournalist spent a whole day walking on stilts with the fact that there were people walking on crutches everywhere.

D) He concludes that landlines must cause serious damage if so many people were on crutches and combined that conclusion with the fact that the photojournalist was still willing to work in that area.

Answer D says, He concludes that landmines must cause serious damage if so many people were on crutches and combined that conclusion with the fact that the photojournalist was still willing to work in that area.

The statement which best explains why Alex made his inference is:

D) He concludes that landlines must cause serious damage if so many people were on crutches and combined that conclusion with the fact that the photojournalist was still willing to work in that area.

Based on the given excerpt, we can see that there is the narration about the hazardous job conditions in which the journalists were working as the landlines were dangerous.

With this in mind, we can see that he makes an inference that the journalists were willing to take risks even in a very unstable and dangerous environment.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D
