SKILL 4: DRAW CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WHO, WHAT AND WHERE

In many conversations, we will have to make an inference from what the speakers say, or to draw some kind of conclusion. In this type of question the answer is not clearly stated; instead, we must draw a conclusion based on clues given in the conversation. We might hear questions like these:

Who is the man/woman?

What will probably happen next?

Where does this conversation probably take place?

What will the man/woman probably do next?

Use clues in the conversation to help you make an intelligent guess about the answers to these questions.

Here is an example of a question that asks who.

(Woman) Can you tell me what assignments I missed when I was absent from your class?

(Man) You missed one homework assignment and a quiz.

(Question) Who is the man?

          In your test book, you read:

(A) A newspaper editor.

(B) A police officer.

(C) A teacher.

(D) A student.

           As you can see, we have some clues: homework and quiz, It means that the man is probably a teacher, therefore  the correct answer is C.
