Explanation:

First Question (Inference about Footprints)

An inference is a conclusion drawn from observations. The first, third, and fourth options are direct observations of the footprints (length, color, location). The statement "Someone just got out of the pool" is a conclusion based on the observation of wet footprints leading from the pool, so it is an inference.

An observation is a description of what is seen, heard, felt, etc., without interpretation. The first option is a prediction, the second is an interpretation of the chemical process, and the fourth is an assumption about the person. The statement "The flame is yellow and orange in color" is a direct visual observation of the flame.

Answer:

B. Someone just got out of the pool
