Answer

Imply and infer are directional word pairs, the same as buy-sell, take-bring, or borrow-lend. An article may imply something, and a reader's understanding of the implied meaning is an inference. A writer may imply, but a reader infers.

Answer

Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about the large meteor that entered Earths atmosphere on February 8, 1969?

- inferred means what do you take from or what do you concluded from or  what do you know from paragraphy one based on the evidence you read.

Answer

infer= to imply or deduce

Answer

Infer in this context means 'gather' or 'deduce'. For example: "Which of the following can be gathered/deduced from paragraph 1?"

In a more simpler form, it means "Which of these facts can be found in paragraph 1?" or "Which of these facts are implied in paragraph 1?"
