→ That is the act of inferring.
- Step-by-step explanation:
→ Inference consists of the action of deducing something, drawing a conclusion, or defining a result from information in a text. The inference arises from a logical evaluation of the facts and clues presented in a text. Basically, it is the act of reasoning and relating information to arrive at a conclusion.
For example, if someone refers to a hairy, tail-wagging four-legged animal, you may infer that this animal is probably a dog.
