Answer 1

I think that the best example of an inference is- "We cannot absolutely know that all these exact adaptations are the result of preconcert. But...we find it impossible not to believe that [these men] all understood one another from the beginning." 

Answer 2

Answer: D) "We cannot absolutely know that all these exact adaptations are the result of pre concert. But...we find it impossible not to believe that [these men] all understood one another from the beginning."

Explanation: An inference is a conclusion or an idea reached based in at least basic evidence and using logical reasoning. We can say that an inference is an "educated guess." From the given sentences, the one that is the best example of an inference is option D, because based on reasoning and in an incomplete evidence, the speaker reaches the conclusion of that the adaptations are the result of pre concert.
