Explanation:

For the question "Which line contains an inference a reader must make", we analyze each option:

• "The storm clouds gathered, ominous and black" is a direct description.
• "'My duty calls!' his silent spirit cried" requires the reader to infer the character's internal motivation (since a "silent spirit" can't literally cry, the reader infers the character's sense of duty from this personification).
• "As thunder shook the tower, stern and grand" is a direct description of the thunder and tower.
• "For safety was ensured within his hand" is a direct statement. So the line with the inference is "'My duty calls!' his silent spirit cried".

Answer:

'My duty calls!' his silent spirit cried
