Inferences
Exercise 1


Read each passage and then choose the two logical inferences from the choices at the end. Choose if a statement is logical, not logical, or if there is not enough information to make a logical reference.

When do we complete our education? We tend to think of education as steps in a process starting in kindergarten, evolving through elementary and junior high, and, for many, ending in high school. However, in the United States approximately 50 percent of high school graduates aspire to higher education, either through a community college, junior college, or a traditional four-year institution. For many people the next step in the educational process includes working toward an advanced degree, either through a masters program or specialized training. Does it end here? In their later years, many senior citizens return to college to take advantage of interesting courses they didn't have time to pursue earlier. So, when do we complete our education?
