To make an inference correctly, a reader should

a. explain how the inference is influenced by modern language

b. show how the inference impacts the language in the text

c. provide evidence to support the inference

d. describe how the inference affects the plot

Answer. c. provide evidence to support the inference

Forming an inference means getting involved in reaching a logical conclusion or making an informed guess based on the content of the text. One should establish a connection between the evidence from the text and the intended inference to make it waterproof. The evidence can be in the form of facts, details, descriptions or expressions, logically leading towards this inference. Thus, a textual evidence is a must because it is directly connected to the meaning of the text and, consequently, it is not a personal view. The options suggesting the influence of the outdated language on the inference, the reflection of the inference on the language in the text, or the effect of the inference on the course of actions in the plot are not directly related to the inference process based on textual evidence.
