🧠 What does inferencia mean?
Una inferencia is a conclusion or deduction reached on the basis of evidence, reasoning, and prior knowledge, rather than from explicit statements. It is the process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true. In contexts like reading comprehension, making an inferencia means understanding what is implied but not directly stated by the author.
