Inference worksheet with pictures and questions for reading comprehension practice.

Let’s go through each question one by one. We’ll look at the picture and the description, then pick the best answer that makes sense based on what we can infer — meaning, what is most likely true even if it’s not directly said.

Question 1:
> Jacob’s backpack is open.
> □ He has taken his books to do homework.
> □ He is with his grandma.
> □ He is riding a bike.

Picture shows an open red backpack with books inside. The only thing we know for sure from the picture is that the backpack is open and has books. There’s no grandma or bike in the picture. So the most logical inference is that he took out his books — maybe to do homework. That fits.

✔ Best answer: He has taken his books to do homework.

Question 2:
> Edward’s living room has muddy footprints.
> □ He is a detective.
> □ He has brown shoes.
> □ He was playing in damp grass.

Muddy footprints mean someone walked in with wet dirt on their shoes. Where does mud come from? Usually outside — like damp grass after rain. Being a detective or having brown shoes doesn’t explain *why* there’s mud. Playing in damp grass would make your shoes muddy → then you walk inside → footprints.

✔ Best answer: He was playing in damp grass.

Question 3:
> Helen broke open her piggy bank after a year.
> □ She didn’t want to save any more.
> □ She is going to buy a bike with the money.
> □ She decided to watch TV.

Breaking open a piggy bank usually means you’re taking out saved money to spend it. Watching TV doesn’t need money from a piggy bank. Not wanting to save anymore is possible, but breaking it open suggests she’s using the money now — so buying something (like a bike) is the most logical reason.

✔ Best answer: She is going to buy a bike with the money.

Question 4:
> Milo was holding behind a tree.
> □ He was crossing the street.
> □ She was too tired to go home. *(Wait — “she”? But the name is Milo — probably a typo, should be “he”)*
> □ He was playing hide-and-seek with his friends.

Holding behind a tree? That sounds like hiding. Hide-and-seek is a game where you hide behind things like trees. Crossing the street doesn’t involve hiding behind a tree. Being tired also doesn’t fit. Even though option 2 says “she”, it’s likely a mistake — but still, hiding behind a tree = playing hide-and-seek.

✔ Best answer: He was playing hide-and-seek with his friends.

Question 5:
> Wanda ducks carried two worms in her beak.
> □ She was hungry so that she ate them all by herself.
> □ She was bringing the food to feed in the nest.
> □ She didn’t find a fish to eat and ate the worms.

Ducks carrying worms in their beak — especially *two* — often means they’re bringing food back to babies in a nest. If she were eating them herself, she wouldn’t carry them around — she’d just eat them right away. Also, ducks don’t typically eat fish as main food — worms are common duck food. Bringing food to the nest is very typical behavior for parent birds/ducks.

✔ Best answer: She was bringing the food to feed in the nest.

*(Note: The sentence says “Wanda ducks” — probably meant “Wanda the duck” or “A duck named Wanda”. Doesn’t change the logic.)*

2. He was playing in damp grass.
3. She is going to buy a bike with the money.
4. He was playing hide-and-seek with his friends.
5. She was bringing the food to feed in the nest.
