Inferences: "I'm home!" earl shouted as he walked in the door. His wife Gail came bounding down the stairs. She hadn't seen him since he had left to go on his silly fishing trip two weeks ago. "I missed you, Husband. Did you catch anything?" Fail reluctantly asked, knowing that Earl was not a very good fisherman. Earl scratched his head and responded, "You're not going to believe what I'm bringing home." Earl unzipped a cooler and pulled out several perfectly filleted salmon steaks. "Wow, Earl, I didn't know you could fillet a fish like that." earl looked around the room a little bit and scratched his head, "Uh, yeah, Jeff taught me how." gail looked at him suspiciously. "well, let me help you unpack." As Gail was helping Earl unpack his truck, she found a receipt from the grocery store. it was dated from that morning. What she saw was both disappointing and unsurprising.

Inferences: Otto stuffed another candy bar in his mouth. He lay sprawled on the floor with his back against his bed. Candy wrappers surrounded him. His shirt was caught in the fold of his belly and he had melted chocolate all over his face and hands. "Ugh..." he groaned weakly as he struggled to finish shewing. Suddenly, the front door opened. "Otto, I'm home!" It was his mom. Otto rolled almost gracefully from his sprawled position and began kicking the candy wrappers under his bed. As she walked slowly up the stairs to his room, he managed to get all the wrappers under the bed, and then he threw a blanket over them. His mom opened the door, glanced in. Her smile faded from a smile to a frown. Make an inference or draw a conclusion about the text. Support with evidence and reasoning.

Inferences: Screech! Karen stomped on the gas pedal the moment the light turned green. She looked over her left shoulder and zigged past a semi-truck. She zoomed ahead and look over her right shoulder and then zagged past a motorbike. She glanced at the clock on the console and darted into the parking lot. Whipping into a parking spot, she grabbed her suitcase and ran through the lot, up the escalator, and into the terminal. Her heavy suitcase was bumping and bouncing the whole way. Just as she entered the terminal, she heard an announcement over the loudspeaker, "Final boarding call for flight 205 to JFK..." Karne looked at her ticket and then at the line to get through the security checkpoint, which wrapped around several turnstiles and slithered like a lethargic snake. Karen sighed and then slowly walked to the customer service desk. Please make an inference about the text. Support with evidence and reasoning.

She stood up and got a head rush that almost knocked her back down to the bed, but she regained her balance. As she tottered over to the phone on her dresser, all of her muscles ached.
