• In drawing conclusion, you are making a

judgement or an opinion or a decision after

selection.

Consider information that is implied or is

not directly stated.
Capitalize on all of what you know to draw a
conclusion.

did not attend your classes anymore?
Why do you know from the selection?

by the dean together with his
parents.
