To solve this worksheet, we need to look at the clues in each sentence and use our background knowledge to figure out what is likely happening. This is called making an inference.
Here is the step-by-step reasoning for each scenario:
1.
Robbie picked some beautiful flowers.
* *Clue:* People usually pick flowers to give them to someone or to put them in a vase.
* *Inference:* Robbie is likely giving the flowers to his mom, a teacher, or a friend as a gift. Or, he is putting them in a vase to decorate his house.
2.
Lily put her raincoat and boots on.
* *Clue:* Raincoats and boots are special clothes worn when it is wet outside.
* *Inference:* It is raining outside, or Lily is going out into the rain/mud.
3.
Henry ran away from the bumble bee.
* *Clue:* Bumble bees can sting, and running away means you want to get far from something quickly.
* *Inference:* Henry is afraid the bee will sting him, so he is trying to escape.
4.
Madeline got her kite out of the closet.
* *Clue:* Kites are flown outdoors, usually when it is windy. Getting it out of storage means she plans to use it soon.
* *Inference:* Madeline is going outside to fly her kite because it is probably a windy day.
5.
Liam raised his hand during the test.
* *Clue:* In a classroom, you raise your hand to get the teacher's attention without talking. During a test, you might need help understanding a question or need a new pencil.
* *Inference:* Liam has a question about the test, or he needs supplies (like a pencil or paper).
6.
Kari has a party hat on her head.
* *Clue:* Party hats are worn specifically for celebrations, most commonly birthdays.
* *Inference:* It is Kari’s birthday, or she is at a birthday party for someone else.
