Discussion

A. Learning about Inferences

Just as a scientist can make conclusion from research, a careful reader can draw
inferences from reading. An inference is a logical conclusion you can make by using
information given to you. In reading, a text may not state a conclusion directly, but it
provides information that the reader can use to make a plausible, or likely, conclusion.

Read the following example:

“ The number of obese youths grows 10 percent every year,” says Aimin hospital director
Shi Lidong. “ It’ s partly because they are spoiled by doting parents and grandparents.”

Here are plausible Inferences:

1. Some Chinese parents and grandparents use food to spoil their children.
2. Therefore, in some Chinese families, food must be a positive thing, a treat, or a
reward to children.
3. Also, the standard of living in China is probably high enough for families to provide
children with excess food.

lnference questions ask about the meaning of a line, paragraph, or even an entire
passage. The ideas being asked about are not directly stated in the text, which mean that
inference questions often include the phrases “ could be interpreted to mean” or “
suggests that." However, the answers to these questions cannot be subjective or
ambiguous. There are three main kinds of inference questions: deduction, speculation,
and examination.

1) Deduction
Inference questions that fall into this subcategory ask you to fill in missing
information. The gist of most of the questions is "If something is said in the
passage, what is the logical extension?" Deduction questions are very close to
 detail questions, except that you must make a logical deduction, rather than relying
only on information in the passage.

2) Speculation
These inference questions ask you to speculate about the meaning (or
"suggested" meaning) of a statement, description, or something else in the passage.
In some ways, these are similar to function questions, but the answers the SAT is
looking for are very different.

3) Examination

Inference questions which fall into the examination subcategory question

you about the internal life (thoughts, feelings, motivations) of the narrator, author,
or someone mentioned in the passage. They can mostly be summed up as asking
"What would [this person] think about [that thing]?" Examination questions are the
most complicated type of inference questions, because they ask you to get into the
head of the author/narrator/character/other person mentioned in the text. You will
often see these sorts of questions on paired passages. Here are some tips to answer
such typical questions

a. Inference questions ask you to deduce, speculate, and examine based on

evidence directly stated in the text.
b. In order to successfully answer inference questions, you must make sure you
understand the question
c. Look for context to help if the lines/words mentioned in the question aren't
enough
d. Answer the question in your own words before looking at the SAT’ s answer
choices
e. Answer questions in an order that makes sense and is not
confusing/disorienting
f. Eliminate three wrong answers
B. Choosing correct plausible inferences

Read the two possible inferences you might draw from the information in the
reading, and put a check mark next to the one you think is the most plausible.

1. Ten food groups were difficult for consumers to remember, so these groups were
trimmed to four food groups by the U.S government by the late 1950s.
____ The U.S. government thought people were having a hard time
understanding so many food groups.
____ There are really only four food groups.
2. In developed countries, food guides tend to promote a diet that prevents chronic
disease. In developing countries, however, the goal of the food guide is to
promote a diet that provides nutrients to safeguard against malnutrition.
____ People from developing countries don’ t have chronic disease.
____ People from developing countries worry about malnutrition.
3. Mexico’ s chalice graphic illustrates the importance of water for overall health by
placing “ water” at the top and largest section of the chalice. Mexico has one of
few food guides that characterize water as a principal part of the diet.
____ Water is in short supply in Mexico.
____ Mexico has a lot of water.
4. Budi is one of the many Indonesians and foreign patients who have checked into
the Aimin Obesity Reduction Hospital to lose weight and gain self-esteem.
____ Obese people have problems with their self-image.
____ In Indonesian society, obesity is viewed as a positive characteristic.
5. Forty to fifty years back, children used to engage in more of outdoor activities.
____ Today’ s children have many more interesting indoor activities
____ Children today get a lot of physical exercise.

C. Learning about Inferences

You will sometimes be asked to answer a multiple choice question about a

reading passage by drawing a conclusion from a specific detail or details in the
passage. Questions of this type contain the words implied, inferred, likely, or probably
to let you know that the answer to the question is not directly stated. In this type of
question, it is important to understand that you do not have to "pull the answer out of
thin air." Instead, some information will be given in the passage, and you will draw a
conclusion from that information. Look at a multiple choice example of an implied
detail question. The following chart outlines the key information that you should
remember about implied detail questions :

IMPLIED DETAIL QUESTIONS

It is implied in the passage that …..

It can be inferred from the passage that ….

HOW TO
It is most likely that ….
IDENTIFY THE
QUESTION What probably happened ….?

WHERE TO FIND The answers to these questions are generally found in order in
THE ANSWER the passage.

Choose a key word in the question

Scan the passage for the key word (or a related idea)

Carefully read the sentence that contains the key word

HOW TO ANSWER Look for an answer that could be true, according to that
THE QUESTION sentence

Example :

The passage:

The Hawaiian language is a melodious language in which all words are derived from
an alphabet of only twelve letters, the five vowels a, e, i, o, u and the seven
consonants h, k, l, m, n, p, w. Each syllable in the language ends in a vowel, and two
 consonants never appear together, so vowels have a much higher frequency in the
Hawaiian language than they do in English.

This musical-sounding language can be heard regularly by visitors to the islands.

Most Hawaiian speak English, but it is quite common to hear English that is liberally
spiced with words and expressions from the traditional language of the culture. A
visitor may be greeted with the expression aloha and may be referred to as
a malihini because he is a newcomer to the island. The visitor may attend an outside
luau where everyone eats too much and be invited afterwards to dance hula.

The question:

Which of the following is probably NOT a Hawaiian word:

a) Mahalo
b) Mahimahi
c) Meklea
d) Moana

D. Problem With Implied Detail Questions

Some questions in the Reading Comprehension section of the TOEFL test will

require answers that are not directly stated in the passage. To answer these questions
correctly, you will have to draw conclusions from information that is given in the
passage. Questions of this type contain the words implied, inferred, likely, or
probably to let you know that the answer to the question is not directly stated

Example :

The passage

The number of rings in a tree can be used to determine how old a tree really
is. Each year a tree produces a ring that is composed of one light-colored wide
band and one dark-colored narrow band.The wider band is produced during the
spring and early summer, when tree stem cells grow rapidly and become larger. The
narrower band is produced in fall and early winter, when cell growth is much slower
and cells do not get.

Very large. No cells are produced during the harsh winter and summer months.
 The questions:

1. It is implied in the passage that if a tree has 100 wide bands and 100 narrow
bands then it is

    (A) a century old

    (B) two centuries old

    (C) fifty years old

    (D) two hundred years old

2. It can be inferred from the passage that cells do not grow

   (A) when the tree is ill

   (B) during extreme heat or cold

   (C) when it rains too much

   (D) if there are more light-colored bands than dark-colored bands

Analysis:

The first question asks about the age of a tree with 100 wide bands and 100
narrow bands. The passage does not tell the age of a tree with 100 wide and narrow
bands, but it does indicate that one.. . wide band and one. . . narrow band are produced
each year. From this you can draw the conclusion that a tree with 100 wide and narrow
bands is 100 years, or a century, old. The best answer to this question is therefore
answer (A). 

The second question asks when cells do not grow. The pas sage indicates that no
cells are produced during the harsh winter and summer months. From this you can draw
the conclusion that cells do not grow during the extreme heat of summer or the extreme
cold of winter. The best answer to this question is therefore answer (B).

The following chart outlines the key information that you should remember about
implied detail questions.

PERTANYAAN DETAIL/ IMPLIED DETAIL QUESTIONS

Pertanyaan semacam ini pasti akan kamu temui saat mengerjakan tes TOEFL.
Soal seperti ini akan menguji pengetahuanmu tentang informasi yang ada dalam
narasi, terutama yang sudah disebutkan secara spesifik dalam bagian kecil narasi.
Biasanya, pertanyaan ini fokus pada siapa atau “who”, apa yang terjadi “what”, kapan
“when”, di mana kejadiannya “where”, dan mengapa “why”. Format pertanyaan
biasanya seperti ini:

According to Paraghraph X, which one is true?

Dalam pertanyaan ini biasanya akan disebutkan paragraf atau bahkan baris
tertentu, dan kamu harus mencocokkan mana yang paling benar dari 4 pilihan
jawaban.

Which of the following is the passage mainly concerned or summarizes the passage?

Dari soal ini kamu dituntut untuk bisa merangkum intisari bacaan atau
kesimpulan yang bisa diambil. Cari tahu jawaban yang mirip dengan narasi yang
dimaksud, tapi ingat jangan sampai terjebak dengan kesamaan kata.

The author’s description of __ mentions which of the following?

Pertanyaan ini biasanya mengacu pada sebuah istilah yang kurang familiar
sehingga perlu penjelasan lebih lanjut. Kamu harus berperan layaknya kamus,
mengartikan sebuah kata atau istilah dan memilih mana jawaban yang paling benar.

What does the author imply about __ (usually mentioning about term in passage)?

Sama seperti pertanyaan sebelumnya, soal sejenis ini mengharuskan kamu untuk
mengetahui intisari dari bagian kecil dalam bacaan. Kamu bisa memahaminya dengan
mengaitkan pada kalimat-kalimat yang muncul sebelum dan sesudahnya.

According to Paragraph X, __ occured because…

Kali ini kamu dituntut untuk tahu alasan mengapa sebuah hal terjadi. Analisis
yang tajam namun cepat diperlukan dengan merangkum sebab-akibat yang ada dalam
narasi.
 Ada 2 jebakan utama yang biasanya membuat orang tertipu saat membaca soal
semacam ini. Jebakan pertama adalah kamu memang memilih pernyataan yang benar
dan tercantum pada bacaan, namun itu TIDAK menjawab soal yang ada.

Jebakan kedua biasanya adalah orang-orang secara tidak sadar memilih

jawaban dengan banyak kesamaan kata dengan bacaan di atasnya. Padahal bisa jadi
pilihan jawaban itu memiliki makna yang bertentangan. Contohnya: “Shopping makes
me happy” bermakna lain dengan “Happiness makes me shop”. Tapi tenang, kamu
bisa menghindarinya jika tidak sekadar memilih jawaban hanya karena ada kesamaan
kata atau key words.

Selanjutnya mari kita coba berlatih dengan membaca tulisan dari Science

News berikut ini:

Shrouded in the mist of an Andean cloud forest, the first newly discovered
carnivore in the Western Hemisphere in 35 years rarely leaves its treetop home.
Smithsonian researchers stumbled upon Bassaricyon neblina, also known as the
“olinguito,” while riffling through museum specimens and old field notes in search of
information about other members of the genus Bassaricyon—a group of tree-dwelling
meat-eaters commonly known as olingos.

As described by researchers, the olinguito weighs just 2 pounds and resides at

5,000 to 9,000 feet above sea level, making the orange-and-brown tree dweller the
smallest and highest-venturing of the olingo species. Misidentified until now,
olinguito specimens have existed in museums for 100 years, and at least one
olinguito lived in several U.S. zoos during the 1960s and 1970s.

Setelah membaca narasi tersebut, biasanya akan muncul pertanyaan-

pertanyaan seperti:

According to the passage, how was the olinguito discovered?

A) It has been common in museums for a century.

B) A Smithsonian researcher who has spent 35 years in the Andean forest discovered
it.

C) The olinguito has been a known part of the olingo species for many decades.
D) The olinguito was misidentified in museum records, and the mistake was only
recently discovered.

Coba perhatikan pilihan jawaban A. Itu adalah pernyataan yang tepat dan
bisa disimpulkan dari bacaan yang ada, tapi tidak menjawab pertanyaan. Pilihan
jawaban B adalah contoh dari jebakan kedua yang harus kamu hindari, karena
pernyataan itu menggabungkan kata kunci yang ada dalam bacaan hingga menjadi
kalimat yang sama sekali tidak tepat. Pilihan jawaban C cukup jelas bertentangan
dengan isi bacaan. Dengan demikian, jawaban yang tepat adalah D.

Tentu saja waktu yang kamu miliki saat hari H mengerjakan tes tidak akan
seleluasa seperti saat kamu membaca analisis jawaban di atas. Tidak perlu merunut
satu persatu jawaban jika kamu bisa menemukan jawaban tepat dengan cepat.

Cara terbaik untuk menjawab pertanyaan detil seperti ini adalah dengan
membaca pertanyaan terlebih dahulu. Jangan mengintip pilihan jawaban agar
konsentrasimu tidak buyar. Bergeserlah ke narasi hingga menemukan kalimat yang
sesuai dengan pertanyaan.

Baru setelah itu, kamu bisa mencocokkannya dengan pilihan jawaban yang
ada. Bagaimana tanda jika kamu berhasil menemukan intisari pertanyaan dengan
cepat? Intip pertanyaan terlebih dahulu, dan kamu akan tahu bahwa researchers
found the olinguito while “riffling through museum specimens and old field
notes,” kamu bisa dengan cepat memilih jawaban D sebagai yang paling tepat.
