Text Clue(s) Background Knowledge

Inference

The men are in a room near a brick wall talking on a cell phone.

They are all talking at the same time.

I know that brick walls can sometimes cause poor reception on a cell phone.

I also know that sometimes when I reposition my phone its because its hard to hear.

I infer that these men are having a problem with reception in the building, making it difficult to hear. Because they are all talking at the same time, this may make it even more difficult.

TC + BK = Inference(Text Clues + Background Knowledge = Inference)
