Implied Information
Implied information is information that is suggested or inferred but not directly stated. It requires the reader to make connections and draw conclusions based on the context and clues provided in the text.
Examples of Implied Information
- When a character in a story is described as "nervous" and "fidgety," the implied information is that the character may be anxious or worried about something.
- If a passage describes a dark, stormy night and a creaking sound coming from the attic, the implied information is that something eerie or mysterious may be happening.
- When a character says, "I can't believe you did that," the implied information is that the character is upset or disappointed with the other person's actions.
