Question 17 • GCS 2025-2026 Biology Credit Recovery

Which of the following is an inference?

Answer
A
A burning candle is extinguished when it is covered with a jar.
B
The candle burns longer than expected in a jar that has a plant in it.
C
A plant lives longer than expected in a jar that has a burning candle.
D
There is more oxygen in the jar because there is a plant in it.

Explanation

An inference is a conclusion drawn from observations, rather than something directly observed. Choices A, B, and C describe what happens to the candle or plant. Saying there is more oxygen in the jar because it contains a plant is an explanation inferred from those observations, so the correct choice is “There is more oxygen in the jar because there is a plant in it.”
