Which type of question asks you to read between the lines?

• A. Inference questions.
• B. Detail questions.
• C. Language-use questions.
• D. Reading-between-the-lines questions.

Answer: (A)

Reading between the lines means you have to infer meaning that isn’t stated outright. Inference questions ask you to draw conclusions from clues in the text—what a character feels, what the author implies, or what might happen next—based on evidence rather than on something that is written directly. That’s why this type of question fits best: you must go beyond explicit details and reason from what’s hinted or suggested. Other question types focus on explicit facts (details) or on how language is used itself, not on implied meaning, so they don’t require reading between the lines.
