Inferring Emotions Answer Key

In this worksheet, students analyze Marcus’s behavior during a tense family dinner. They infer his emotions, examine his thoughts, and evaluate his relationships based on textual details. Learners must identify evidence such as body language, dialogue, and reactions to interpret what Marcus is experiencing. This activity develops deep comprehension by showing students how authors reveal emotion indirectly. It also helps students understand interpersonal dynamics within stories.
