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.

4. PART B: Which detail from the paragraph 3 best supports the answer
ivanzaharov [21]

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer:  A “These correlational findings do not prove that lack of sleep is causing these problems."

Explanation:

To answer this question, one must first read "Teenagers Who Don’t Get Enough Sleep at Higher Risk for Mental Health Problems" (2015) by Tori Rodriguez. Then, answer the first part of the question, which asks: " Which statement best describes how the author addresses the conflicting evidence in paragraph 3?."

The answer to the first part is:

She acknowledges that some questions remain, even though the link between sleep and mental health is strong.

The answer to Part B of the question is that the detail from paragraph 3 that best supports the answer to Part A  is when the author explains that the correlational relationship between the lack of sleep and problems like anxiety has not yet resolved whether the lack of sleep causes anxiety or is anxiety what causes insomnia. And still, most of the research has provided evidence that supports the causal direction being lack of sleep causing problems.

Answer: Students need a break to study for their rigorous midterm exams.

Explanation:

With the school term begining in the end of August and going on till the midterms save for a few holidays here and there, students do not really have time to rest and reflect.

Adding a weeklong break in October can therefore give students the time to rest and prepare for their very rigorous midterm exams which will theoretically lead to higher pass rates.
