Context Clues and Inferences in The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone

Question 6 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Read the sentence.A person must be at least sixteen years old to obtain a driver’s license.Which detail follows logically from the big-picture idea in this sentence?

Answer

Doug, who drove a car yesterday, is more than sixteen years old.

Hannah, who rides a bike, does not have a driver’s license.

Antonio, who has a driver’s license, is at least sixteen years old.

Felicia, who does not have a car, does not have a driver’s license.

Explanation

The sentence says that anyone who obtains a driver’s license must be at least sixteen years old. So Antonio’s having a driver’s license means he is at least sixteen, which matches choice C. Driving a car, riding a bike, or not owning a car does not by itself establish whether someone has a license or how old they are.
