Making inferences is necessary when analyzing a text because not all information is explicitly stated in the text. Inferences allow readers to draw conclusions and make connections between the information that is provided by the author and what is implied or suggested. By making inferences, readers can better understand the author's intended message, identify underlying themes or motifs, and determine the relationships between different elements of the text. Inferences also help readers to engage with the text on a deeper level, as they require critical thinking and active interpretation of the text.
