What does it mean to draw inferences from the following options? A. to use the denotation of a word to understand what the author is saying B. to use facts and details to draw conclusions that are not specifically stated C. to understand what the literal meaning and language of the words state D. to guess what the author is trying to tell you based on what you know

B. To use facts and details to draw conclusions that are not specifically stated.

Explanation:

There's not much of an explanation. A is easily knocked out because denotation of a word has little to nothing to do with an inference. C is easily knocked out because it doesn't matter what the literal meaning of something is. D is also knocked out because what you do know doesn't matter either. You need information the author has given you, so B.

An inference is officially defined as a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning. So, it's B.
