Inference is a logical conclusion based on the information provided, while generalization takes that conclusion and applies it to other similar situations. Based on those definitions, we can determine if each of the statements is a rasonable generalization or not.
"The sibling rivalry is due to the arrival of a newborn baby in the house" is neither an inference nor a generalization. There is no indication in the text of a new baby.
"The speaker is from a large family" cannot be inferred either, as the narrator only mentions one sibling.
"The speaker loves the brother" is a fair inference based on the text. The narrator mentions that her brother means the world to her, so this statement is a logical conclusion.
"The brother gets into trouble often" is not a reasonable inference nor generalizatino. The only information provided is that he insists on reading his sister's diary.
"The speaker believes others feel the same way as the speaker about their diaries" <em>is the only </em><em>reasonable generalization</em>. The narrator assumes that by telling her brother her diary is boring, he won't want to read it. That he is only interested in knowing her secrets. Therefore, she thinks others view diaries the same way she does.

Read the passage from the Houston Chronicle about air quality in Houston in 2019. “I’m surprised and disturbed that Houston’s air quality worsened in this year’s [American Lung Association ‘State of the Air’] report,” said Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas. “The trend since 1999 had been one of steady progress and instead now it seems we are backtracking and that’s bad news particularly for the hundreds of thousands of people who have asthma or other vulnerable populations like senior citizens. . . .”
Current models estimate that more than 60 percent of ozone pollution is from cars, according to Raun, and to address that, the city is trying to encourage practices such as the use of mass transit and transitioning to fuel-efficient or low-emission vehicles.
How is Houston trying to combat increasing ozone pollution?
by raising taxes on vulnerable populations
by increasing access to health care
by encouraging use of mass transit
by prohibiting the sale of new cars
The idea that supports the claim that smaller offices are more honest than big ones is the last one, that small communities have more incentives against crime. The reason for this is that if a community has more incentives against crime than another, it is more likely to be more honest as crime is related to dishonesty and this is something the small communities try to avoid.
Answer:
C). The chart provides the data from the survey visually, and the text describes it.
Explanation:
The third statement most aptly compares the two distinct formats of representing information. The chart offers a visual representation of the data that assists the audience to have better clarity of the data and understand it effectively. It also aids them in memorizing or retaining the information more conveniently. The passage, on the other hand, aims to describe the visual information in words that helps the readers to understand the overall idea and conclusion represented by the data. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
Option 2 is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The Tragical History of Life and Dead of Dr. Faustus was composed by Christopher Marlow. As said in the question, the excerpt belongs to scene XIII, which is also the last one. Even though the speaker mentions all the other options (which could make all the answers correct), the line that follows the given excerpt continues by saying "...which I saw of slate,/Whose sweet embraces may extinguish clean...", making this option the correct one.
