Answer:

A reader makes a guess about what is happening in a text using clues from the text and what he or she knows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Making an inference involves using what you know to make a guess about what you don't know or reading between the lines. Readers who make inferences use the clues in the text along with their own experiences to help them figure out what is not directly said, making the text personal and memorable.
