Allison:

Elsa is right.

cookiemonster:

ok so next.. Define inference and explain how it is used to form conclusions.

Elsa213:

`Inference` is a thought created using details and reasoning. If you gather up proper details, you will soon assume a point. Example: Reading a book. You gather clues from the text to guess the situation.
