An inference is a conclusion based on what an author states and does not state in a text. It involves reading between the lines and using clues and details provided by the author to make an educated guess or interpretation. Unlike an explicit idea, which is directly stated by the author, an inference requires the reader to analyze and interpret the text in order to come to a conclusion.
