Answer 1

• Inferences are based on clues from the writer.• You need to consider what you already know about the topic.

Answer 2

The question asks which statements among the given options are true about making inferences. 1. "Inferences are based on clues from the writer." This statement is true - an inference is an educated guess you make by integrating known information revelaed indirectly and employing your personal judgment and reasoning.2. "You need to consider what you already know about the topic." This statement is also true. Your prior knowledge about a certain topic often helps you in making inferences about something which is not explicitly stated.3. "You need to guess about the writer's meaning." This might be misleading. While inferring involves some suspicion about the writer's intended meaning, it shouldn't be dubbed as a mere 'guess' - you're using given information and your cognition, not just stochastically contemplating. 4. "They are a summary of what the writer states directly." This is incorrect. A summary recaps the explicitly stated information, while inferences are drawn out from indirect clues or interpretations.
