Three examples of Inference questions that follow a similar pattern of reasoning. I go over the three examples, what they have in common, and how to recognize this pattern (which, I should note, is only one of many patterns that one might detect in going through the various Inference questions from the College Board and Khan Academy).

(1) Several artworks found among the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii depict a female figure fishing with a cupid nearby. Some scholars have asserted that the figure is the goddess Venus, since she is known to have been linked with cupids in Roman culture, but University of Leicester archaeologist Carla Brain suggests that cupids may have also been associated with fishing generally. The fact that a cupid is shown near the female figure, therefore, _______
(2) Herbivorous sauropod dinosaurs could grow more than 100 feet long and weigh up to 80 tons, and some researchers have attributed the evolution of sauropods to such massive sizes to increased plant production resulting from high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide during the Mesozoic era. However, there is no evidence of significant spikes in carbon dioxide levels coinciding with relevant periods in sauropod evolution, such as when the first large sauropods appeared, when several sauropod lineages underwent further evolution toward gigantism, or
when sauropods reached their maximum known sizes, suggesting that _______
(3) Dutch painters in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries often showed tables filled with large wheels of cheese or carved shards of butter. Some art historians, noting that dairy products were a major component of the Dutch diet, interpret these depictions as reflections of everyday Dutch eating habits. However, a group of researchers recently reviewed hundreds of food-related paintings and found that lemons-which could only be acquired in the Netherlands at great cost, since they had to be imported from warmer climates-feature in Dutch paintings of the period more than three times as frequently as dairy products do, thereby casting doubt on the idea that _____
