In the situation when the reader attempts to infer meaning out of the text by using hints and indirect evidence provided by the author, it would be called as:
C). Inferring
- 'Inference' is characterized itself as the 'process of reaching a reasoned or logical conclusion.'
- A reader reaches an inference or conclusion after evaluating the cues or hints provided within the text by the author along with supporting evidence that justify it.
- While 'applying' denotes 'act or process of referring to something,' 'symbolizing' means the use of an object, location, etc. to convey a deeper idea, and 'implying' expresses to 'suggest something indirectly.'
Thus, option C is the most appropriate answer.
