Mixed Inference Practice Bank

This is a comprehensive practice set that mixes all the skills from the previous nine lessons. You will encounter science passages, social passages, historical passages, medical passages, and philosophical passages. The questions test all the core inference skills: True/False/Can't Tell judgements, outside knowledge traps, extreme language, qualifier analysis, and the False vs Can't Tell boundary.

Quick-Reference Strategy

Use the complete TFC decision framework:

1. Read the statement. Identify the claim, qualifiers, and specifics.
2. Scan the passage. Find keywords from the statement.
3. Compare and decide:
   • Passage supports the statement → True
   • Passage contradicts the statement → False
   • Passage is silent or insufficient → Can't Tell
4. Check for traps:
   • Am I using outside knowledge? → Stop. Use only the passage.
   • Is the statement more extreme than the passage? → Probably Can't Tell or False.
   • Is the passage silent, or does it actually contradict? → Distinguish False from Can't Tell.
