Here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by carrots, they improve [A stack of carrots]

00:07

your vision and bunnies eat them all the time which makes us wonder do bunnies

00:11

have x-ray vision....yeah all right

00:16

well check out the following passage despite their high nutritional value

00:19

carrots are among the most disgusting vegetables in the world so what can you

00:24

infer from the passage and here are your potential answers....

00:28

So, we're looking for something that's not totally [Boy looking for an item in a living room]

00:34

obvious but it's implied by the tone or phrasing of this passage so something

00:39

like carrots are among the most disgusting vegetables in the world, is

00:42

way too explicit to be inferred or implied since it's sitting right there [Girl chewing on a carrot]

00:47

in the text well let's take a look at our options and see which one we can

00:50

infer from the passage starting with A this one isn't a great fit...sure the

00:54

00:57

really mean they'll be great in recipes so A is out.. what about B the writer

01:13

that the author says carrots have high nutritional value but it's a bit of a [Girl sat by a window eating a carrot]

01:16

leap from that to the author thinking people should eat them so C is gone

01:19

too, what about D? well this one's a much better fit from carrots are among the

01:24

most disgusting vegetables in the world we can pretty easily infer that the

01:28

writer hates carrot what's more from their noting of carrots high nutritional

01:33

value we can also infer that the writer can see the benefits of carrots even if [Writer inspecting a carrot]

01:37

they may or may not despise them which means that option D is our correct

01:41

answer and hey no big deal that the writer isn't into carrots that just

01:45

means more for the super bunnies.. Hey marvel were smelling a new Avenger here

01:49
