Question 32

The high mark in the lock log

An original account of an invented canal-monitoring exercise.

Our group recorded the water level beside a lock each morning. On Thursday, nobody saw the water rise, but the log mentioned a wet mark high on the gauge post and a strand of weed caught above the usual level. Priya added, “The water must have been higher earlier that day.”

When we checked the log, we agreed that Priya's inference was reasonable because both details supported it. We changed the form so that anyone recording an inference also had to identify the clues they had used.

In this passage, what does “inference” mean?
