Explanation:
As per the question, a reader is 'drawing inferences' when he/she is using the word choice, pattern of events, or other clues or pieces of evidence given by the author to determine the meaning. These inferences are characterized as the conclusions based on the indirect information(context) or the understanding of implied meaning reflected in the text or presented by the author . This is also categorized as a strategy to affiliate the implied meaning with the literal meaning, draw conclusions to understand the text more comprehensively. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
