Implied Conclusion Answer Key

In this critical thinking activity, students read an unfinished story about a talent show performance and infer how the story likely ends. They write their implied ending and support it with explicit clues from the passage. This exercise encourages prediction, reasoning, and evidence-based writing. It helps students connect textual details to broader interpretations and understand how authors use subtle cues to lead readers toward conclusions.
