Let’s go through each sentence one by one and think about what we can infer — that means, what is probably happening or true based on the clues.
---
1. Jane puts on her coat, mittens, boot and hat.
→ These are all warm clothes people wear when it’s cold outside.
→ So, we can infer:
It is cold outside.
---
2. Mathew makes another snowball.
→ If he’s making *another* snowball, that means he already made at least one before.
→ Also, you need snow to make a snowball.
→ So, we can infer:
There is snow on the ground, and Mathew has been playing in it.
---
3. The snowman has melted.
→ Snowmen melt when it gets warm — usually when the sun comes out or the temperature rises.
→ So, we can infer:
The weather got warmer.
---
4. Sophia made a cup of hot cocoa.
→ Hot cocoa is something people drink when they’re cold or want to warm up.
→ So, we can infer:
Sophia was feeling cold or wanted something warm to drink.
---
5. Timmy is hiding behind the fort.
→ A “fort” here likely means a snow fort (since other sentences talk about snow).
→ Hiding suggests he’s playing a game like hide-and-seek.
→ So, we can infer:
Timmy is playing a game with someone.
---
6. Hannah went inside to get an umbrella.
→ Umbrellas are used when it’s raining (or sometimes sunny, but usually rain).
→ She went *inside* to get it, so she was probably outside and noticed rain starting.
→ So, we can infer:
It started to rain.
---
Final Answer:
1. It is cold outside.
2. There is snow on the ground, and Mathew has been playing in it.
3. The weather got warmer.
4. Sophia was feeling cold or wanted something warm to drink.
5. Timmy is playing a game with someone.
6. It started to rain.
