If readers are not able to infer from particular facts information that is not openly stated, they cannot make any

generalizations

True

O False

Answer: True.

Explanation:

Generalization is making a general, broad statement from something specific. For instance, if you read that a dog chases squirrels, and you conclude that all dogs do the same, you are making a generalization.

Generalizations, however, cannot be successfully made if the information is not openly stated. Readers often make conclusions based on information that is described to them in detail. If the information is not specifically stated in the material they are reading, they will not perceive the message and make generalizations.
