Exam practice: conclusions with clear evidence
How it works
In this topic area, you practice drawing logical conclusions from English texts that are clearly supported by evidence from the text. This means you read a passage and decide what logically follows from it, using specific information in the text as your basis. A conclusion is correct if it necessarily results from the given information and is not merely guessed. Example: If the text says ‹Tom walked home in the rain without an umbrella and got wet›, one can conclude that ‹Tom was outside while it was raining›, because this follows directly from the information given. The point is to distinguish between explicit statements and logical but supportable inferences.
A conclusion is only correct if it clearly follows from the text and can be supported by at least one passage in the text. Guesses without a clear basis in the text are not allowed.
An example
Read the sentence: ‹Sarah left the house without breakfast because she was late for school.› What can you conclude?
