Question

what can readers infer based on details in the excerpt?
○ goemon likes new experiences.
○ goemon is not afraid of his rescuers.
○ goemon does not trust his rescuers.
○ goemon has used a fork before.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option. For inference questions, we rely on textual clues (even though the excerpt isn't provided here, typical inference logic applies). If the excerpt shows Goemon's interaction with rescuers where he's calm or engaging, "Goemon is not afraid of his rescuers" is a likely inference. Other options: "likes new experiences" needs explicit text about new activities, "does not trust" would show suspicion (opposite of not afraid), and "used a fork before" needs fork - related context. Assuming the excerpt has details showing Goemon's comfort with rescuers, this option fits.

Answer:

B. Goemon is not afraid of his rescuers.
