 Tomorrow is Jill's birthday. She is excited because she gets to pick where she will eat dinner. Will it be Mexican food at the Big Enchilada House? Or will it be fried chicken at the Chicken Shack, or a big cheeseburger at Al's Hamburger Palace. She just couldn't decide. Then there was always the Pizza Shop with that great pepperoni pizza. How would she ever decide? Maybe she would just flip a coin.

• I can infer that Jill has many restaurants to choose from for her birthday because she lists a number of options that she is able to go to.

• I can infer that Jill loves Mexican food because she mentioned the Big Enchilada House.

• I can infer that the Pizza Shop has the best pizza in town because it received an award for their pepperoni pizza.

• I can infer that Jill will choose a place by flipping a coin because she cannot decide.
