form or by any means.
Making inferences means
to read between the lines
i.e. you can tell
what the source is not saying
Questions can look like this:
• What does this source tell you?
• What is the message of this source?
© 2016 Brain Matter
What does this source tell you about
the girl and the bracelet? Explain
your answer.
© 2016 Brain Matter
Source A –
From a conversation a girl had with her
boyfriend
This bracelet is small and light. The small
diamonds on it make it look very pretty. I think
this bracelet goes well with my dress but I don’t
have cash to pay for it now.

Source A –
From a conversation a girl had with her
boyfriend
• This bracelet is small and light. The small
diamonds on it make it
look very pretty. I think this
bracelet goes well with my dress but I don’t have
cash to pay for it now.
© 2016 Brain Matter
Answer:
• This source tells me that the girl likes the
bracelet.
(This is the inference you made. You describe it
in your own words)
• This is supported by “the small diamonds on it
make it look very pretty.“
(This is the evidence from the source. You copy
from the source word for word)

Source A –
From a conversation a girl had with her
boyfriend
• This bracelet is small and light. The small
diamonds on it make it look very pretty. I think
this bracelet goes well with my dress but I
don’t have cash to pay for
it now.
© 2016 Brain Matter
Answer:
• The source also tells me that the girl hopes
the boyfriend can help her pay for the
bracelet.
• This is supported by “I don’t have cash to pay
for it now.”
© 2016 Brain Matter
Better answer:
• The source tells me that the girl hopes that the
boyfriend would give the bracelet for her as a
present.
• She emphasised that she likes the bracelet but
she doesn’t have cash to buy it on the spot
• Since she said it out loudly for the boyfriend to
hear, she is hoping that the boyfriend would give
it to her as a gift
• This is supported by “this bracelet goes well with
my dress but I don’t have cash to pay for it now.”

Source Aa –
From a conversation a girl had with her
boyfriend
This bracelet is small and light. The small
diamonds on it makes it look very pretty. I think
this bracelet goes well with my dress. The
boyfriend did not respond at all.
© 2016 Brain Matter
What does this source tell you
about men? Explain your answer.
© 2016 Brain Matter
The men don’t get it.
Answer:
© 2016 Brain Matter
What is the message of this
source? Explain your answer.
© 2016 Brain Matter
Source B –
A picture of Dr Koh Poh Koon picking
up a piece of litter from the drain
© 2016 Brain Matter
Answer:
• The message of this source is that Mr Koh Poh
Koon is a hardworking man.
• This is supported by the picture which shows
him bending down and picking up a piece of
litter with his hand from the drain.
© 2016 Brain Matter
A better answer:
• The purpose of this source is to make voters vote
for him in the by-election.
• This is supported by the picture which shows him
picking up a piece of litter from the drain.
• That would make people think that he is
hardworking.
• Since voters in Punggol East would want a good
MP like him,
• they will then be more likely to vote for him after
seeing him do this
© 2016 Brain Matter
NOTE for inference questions:
• Your answer must contain the following:
• (Inference + support) x 1
• (Inference + support) x 1
• Altogether 2 sets for each question
