When writers do not state the way a character feels, the writer will include details that readers must use to make inferences or form opinions about how a character feels. When you make inferences, you use:

• Dictionaries and Wikipedia to locate answers.

• Your own imagination and ignore the text.

• Clues from the text, background knowledge, and experiences you've had.

• None of the above.
