What is the name for the process of deciding what the information in a textmeans?
A. Making observations
B. Summarizing
C. Making inferences
D. Reading
SUBMIT

Answers

Answer: C. Making inferences

Explanation:

When we receive a text, we read it, make observations and summarize it in our minds. After this we then use the information gathered to make inferences which would enable us understand the meaning of the message.

We will then be able to formulate a reply based on the inferences made about what the text could mean. This process can happen really fast and is the reason texting can happen in relatively huge volumes in a short period of time.

Kelly read the following information on the NASA website while researching for a report about the sun.
The sun is a star, a hot ball of glowing gases at the heart of our solar system. Its influence extends far beyond the orbits of distant Neptune and Pluto. Without the sun’s intense energy and heat, there would be no life on Earth. And though it is special to us, there are billions of stars like our sun scattered across the Milky Way galaxy. If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, the Earth would be the size of a U.S. nickel. The temperature at the sun’s core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.

what is purgatory? how is this title appropriate to the play?​

I’m not sure what play you’re talking about but purgatory is the catholic (and maybe some other religions) belief that before entering heaven or hell, you wait in purgatory. It is a middle ground, often thought of for waiting. If you paid the church (I can’t remember what their payments are called) then you could skip purgatory and go to heaven. This is one of the things that caused the church to have different denominations.
