Read a short Graveyard Walk practice preview and answer one question about inference.
Keep this tab open. Refreshing or leaving clears this session; progress is not saved.
This narrative preview follows Mara as she enters a cemetery with a family-history notebook. It focuses on inference: understanding an impression that emerges through setting, sounds and the character’s expectations.
Notice what Mara expects before entering and what she encounters afterward. Compare the opening with the final sentence. Choose an inference supported by several details rather than inventing a motive or event outside the story.
Look for the details that changed the character’s impression. Explain how they support your answer in one sentence. If you cannot point to evidence, reconsider the inference.
Mara stopped at the old cemetery gate. She had expected silence, but birds called from the trees and a gardener hummed beside a flower bed. On a weathered bench, she opened the notebook that held her family history. The place felt less like an ending than a collection of stories still waiting to be heard.
An inference is a conclusion supported by the text. A guess may be possible, but it lacks enough evidence in the passage.
