can someone please help me answer this question? It's really easy but I just can't figure out the answer. Is the statement below a prediction, inference, or opinion? Tina packed her briefcase the night before with her files, her organizer, and her laptop, but she could not find her presentation anywhere.

OpenStudy (blyue):

Hm... If I were to say, I'd say a inference. It doesn't seem like an opinion. It's being stated that she packed, and can't find her presentation as a fact. It doesn't seem like a prediction, because this isn't foretelling the future, or guessing what's going to happen. It could be inference! Because the sentence has come to the conclusion that she really can't find her presentation. No guesses, she really can't find it.

Ok thank you very much!! That's what I was thinking too!
