What does inferential comprehension involve?

  1. Understanding the literal meaning of the text

  2. Inferring meanings and relationships not directly stated

  3. Evaluating the validity of the arguments in the text

  4. Summarizing the key points of a passage

The correct answer is: Inferring meanings and relationships not directly stated

Inferential comprehension involves inferring meanings and relationships that are not directly stated in the text. This skill allows readers to go beyond the literal content, requiring them to make deductions and connect ideas based on evidence within the text as well as their prior knowledge. It involves understanding implied meanings, recognizing underlying themes, and making predictions about the content. This level of comprehension is crucial for deeper understanding and interpretation of texts, as it enables readers to fill in gaps, understand characters' motivations, and grasp the author's purpose. It also allows for a richer interaction with complex texts, where the surface meaning might not fully convey the message or intent of the writing.
