Question

Which statement about a hurricane is an inference?
A. Damage from the storm is expected to be extensive.
B. The central air pressure is recorded at 946.0 mb.
C. The windspeed is measured at 200km/hr.
D. A rain gauge records three inches of rain in less than one hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

B, C, and D can all be proven and are explicit. It is something that you know while an inference is a good guess. As you can see, B says the windspeed is 200km/hr, that's pretty fast, D says there was 3 inches of rain in less than an hour, that's a lot of rain, using the information you have you can guess that the storm would damage a lot of things. I hope that helped! Don't forget an inference is specifically stated but instead is a guess using what evidence is available, similar to a prediction in my opinion.
