kyle : planets with more mass have thicker atmospheres because of the greater gravity.
lim : one day, a new planet might be discovered in our solar system.

Explanation:

• Kyle's statement is an inference. It takes the relationship between mass and gravity (a known concept) and applies it to the thickness of atmospheres.
• Lim's statement is an interception. It is a prediction about a future event (discovery of a new planet in the solar system).
• Shawn's statement is a conclusion. It combines facts (outer planets have more mass, more mass creates stronger gravitational pull) to draw a final statement about moons in orbit.
• Regina's statement is a piece of data. It is a specific, factual count of Jupiter's moons.

Answer:

Kyle's statement is an inference.
Lim's statement is an interception.
Shawn's statement is a conclusion.
