Rachel [implied/inferred] that she was not accepted into Harvard when the university sent her a letter rather than a packet.  \n2.  \n3.  \n4.  \n5.  \n\n| Good grief, Charlotte; what exactly are you trying to [imply/infer] with that smug look!? |\n| --- |\n| My boss [implied/inferred] that I am getting the promotion when she invited me to lunch. |\n| Based on his students’ lack of enthusiasm, Mr. Besançon [implied/inferred] that they weren’t excited for the test. |\n| Siobhan’s tears [implied/inferred] that she wasn’t pleased with getting a pair of socks for her birthday. |\n\nBonus: Implication or Inference  \n1.
