What do context and inferences have in common? (5 points) You cannot tell the meaning of a word by how it is used. You can decide how to write a story based on inferences. You can infer the context of a story based on dictionary definitions. You can use the context of a story to understand what is going on.

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

So, do you happen to have a guess as to what the answer is? xP

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

Absolutely no clue, although i would think it isn't A

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

Have any knowledge already on what contexts and inferences are? ;o;

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

Inferences are like, guessing on what may happen in the future

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

context is like word clues? Or something

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

Hm, inferences are a sort of assumption about something. For example, if you arrive at home and check the mailbox for mail and you see mail, you can assume the mailman came buy and delivered your mail. And for context you surround it around a topic and you use context to explain what the thing is about.

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

For example, if you see a word you never knew existed, the writer is going to likely inform you about it.

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

Did I explain it well or are you confused? D:

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

u explained it fine, well D makes sense

OpenStudy (angiedoesschool2275):

Correct, it is D. For A, that is incorrect because you CAN. Context allows you to know the meaning of the word since the writer explains what it is after he/she writes it. For B, It isn't relating to the question since we are comparing context and inferences and it is basically just explaining inferences. For C, it is wrong because you can infer the context of a story by looking at the actual context and the explanation the author provides us with. Which this leaves us with D. :3
