Explanation:  

One makes an inference when they use what they know to guess about what they do not know or read in a text.  It is from suggestive clues in a text or in a situation that someone can make inferences.  To figure out a meaning from some actions or situations, the reader infuses his or her personal experiences.  Combining such clues and experiences helps him to form an opinion or make a conclusion.  

"The Cask of Amontillado" is an 1846 short story by Edgar Allan Poe.  It narrates the intrigue with which Montresor beguiled Fortunato in order to murder him in revenge for supposed offences against Montresor.
