INFER most nearly means: A) imply; B) refute; C) embellish; D) deduce. Answer inside. 👉️
Most people are getting this wrong:
English teachers traditionally teach the difference between the words "infer" and "imply." What is this distinction?
A) A writer infers; a reader implies
B) Actually, almost no difference
C) Infer is logical, imply intuitive
D) A writer implies; a reader infers
I love grammar, vocabulary and anything to do with languages, so thank you for this.
I´d go for the last option. I don't know how to add my answer to the poll, though.
The poll is in one of the posts, but no big deal.
Will add more like this soon!
Thanks!
Still trying to figure Substack out.
Looking forward to it.
