Let's solve each question in the
"Making Inference Test" from the image you provided. The goal is to
make logical inferences based on the given sentences.
---
A) Directions: Read the sentences below and answer the questions by choosing the correct answers.
---
#### **1. Automobile must have certain safety devices such as seat belts, headlights, and good brakes.
We can infer that a safety device is something that makes driving _________.**
- a. safer
- b. faster
- c. funnier
- d. lighter
✔ Correct answer: a. safer
Explanation:
The sentence lists devices like seat belts and brakes, which are all designed to protect people and prevent accidents. Therefore, we can logically infer that safety devices make driving *safer*.
---
#### **2. Some artists plan their paintings around geometric forms like squares, circles and triangles.
We can infer that geometric forms refer to the _________.**
- a. size
- b. color
- c. shape
- d. painting
✔ Correct answer: c. shape
Explanation:
Squares, circles, and triangles are all examples of
shapes, not colors or sizes. So, "geometric forms" refers to
shape.

#### **3. Gardening is a relaxing hobby and people can benefit from it.
We can infer that people are _________ from gardening.**
- a. frustrated
- b. excited
- c. interested
- d. healthy
✔ Correct answer: d. healthy
Explanation:
The word "benefit" suggests a positive outcome. While "interested" might be true, "healthy" directly relates to a
benefit one gains from gardening (like physical activity, stress relief, etc.). "Relaxing" also supports this idea of health benefits.
> Note: “Interested” is possible, but “benefit” implies a physical or mental gain — hence
healthy is the best inference.

#### **4. Red is used for signs of danger, such as ‘STOP’ signs and fire engines.
We can infer that signs of danger are generally _________ signs.**
- a. cheerful
- b. important
- c. interesting
- d. creative
✔ Correct answer: b. important
Explanation:
Red is used for warnings because they need to grab attention and signal urgency. Danger signs are
important because they affect safety. “Cheerful,” “interesting,” or “creative” don’t fit the context.

#### **5. Joe woke up and he could hear the cocks crowing.
We can infer that the time of the day is _________.**
- a. at noon
- b. in the early morning
- c. in the afternoon
- d. in the evening
✔ Correct answer: b. in the early morning
Explanation:
Cocks (roosters) typically crow at
dawn, which is the
early morning. This is a well-known natural behavior.
---
#### **6. A person who has a flu may have several symptoms like sneezing and a high temperature.
We can infer that ‘symptoms’ are _________.**
- a. virus
- b. signs of an illness
- c. cures
- d. kinds
✔ Correct answer: b. signs of an illness
Explanation:
Symptoms are observable indications that someone is sick. Sneezing and high temperature are
signs of the flu — so “symptoms” =
signs of an illness.
---
