Stated or Implied?

IGCSE Reading Comprehension — Inference Training

Learn to Read Carefully

In IGCSE English, you need to understand not just what a text says, but also what it suggests.

This game teaches you the difference.

STATED
The text says this directly. You don't need to work it out — it's right there in the words.
IMPLIED
The text doesn't say this directly, but you can safely work it out from clues in the text. It's a logical inference.

You'll read a short passage, then statements will appear one at a time. For each, decide: is it stated or implied?
