cis_man Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 What is the difference between inferred and implied? In almost every passage there is a question with at least one of these terms. Is the meaning the same for these words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofTkid Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 TO IMPLY IS FOR THE GIVER OF INFORMATION TO SUGGEST INDIRECTLY TO INFER IS FOR THE RECEIVER OF INFORMATION TO MAKE A GUESS USING SPECIFIC EVIDENCE. source: Grammar mishaps. Makes sense to me. V.R uses inferred more den implied. I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savac Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 For the purposes of verbal reasoning, they're the exact same question type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzle Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nah, UofTkid is right. By the way, what do they mean by "support" in their questions? I have found that support does not necessarily mean a whole explanation, but even a mention of X counts as support for X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
