Motivation Inference Practice Answer Key

Students read passages centered on character motivations and subtle behavioral clues. Each scenario requires learners to determine why a character acts, reacts, or feels a certain way based on what the passage suggests rather than explicitly states. Students evaluate tone, actions, and personal circumstances to choose the most logical conclusion from four options. This builds the ability to infer deeper character motivations and internal states. Through repeated practice, students enhance their capacity to read between the lines and construct meaning from understated details.
