Identify logical conclusions.

• A. They can be supported by multiple pieces of information from the text.
• B. They should be based only on the title.
• C. They must be supported by text and reasonable interpretation.
• D. They require no evidence.

Answer: (C)

When you identify logical conclusions, you’re linking what the text says with what those details imply. A solid conclusion rests on text-based evidence plus reasonable interpretation of that evidence, not on guesses or ideas pulled from nowhere. The evidence can come from explicit statements or from inferences supported by patterns and details in the text, and your interpretation should stay within what the text supports.

Relying on the title alone isn’t enough because a title usually doesn’t provide the full context or enough evidence to justify a conclusion. A conclusion also shouldn’t be made with no evidence at all; there needs to be some basis in the text for your reasoning. While it’s nice when multiple pieces of information reinforce a conclusion, that isn’t required for every valid inference—what matters is that your conclusion is grounded in what the text actually shows and reasonable interpretation of that information.
