This question is about reading skills. The correct answer is 'B. The process of making logical deductions based on the information provided' because inference involves drawing conclusions that are not explicitly stated in the text but are suggested by it. 'A. The process of understanding the explicit meaning of the text' is simply comprehension, not inference. 'C. The process of analyzing the structure of the text' is more about textual analysis. 'D. The process of summarizing the main points of the text' is about synthesis, not inference.
