Read the passage from "Husky—Wolf Dog of the North."


[The husky] is also an actor of no mean ability, concealing the most nefarious designs under the innocent exterior of a newborn lamb. In the old days, before the discovery of the Klondike, the men who freighted grub from Circle City to Birch Creek were wont to charge ten cents per pound more for bacon than for any other merchandise. And even then, so great was the responsibility, they reckoned that they lost on the transaction.


What can be inferred from this passage?

A.The men had to watch the huskies closely because even if the dogs seemed blameless, they still stole and ate the bacon the men were hauling if the dogs had a chance.
B.The men had to keep more food for the huskies because if the dogs made a long-distance delivery, they would be especially hungry.
C.The men charged more to transport bacon because they knew the huskies would need to run fast to deliver it before it spoiled.\
D.The men charged more to transport bacon because they knew the miners in other camps would pay a higher price to feed their dogs.

What is an inference?

An inference is a point that is drawn from the reading of a text. Although it is not stated in detail, the descriptions support the conclusion reached. In this text above, the point that we get is that the men who freighted the seas charged more for each pound of bacon and the reason for this must have been because of the efforts they needed to make to keep the bacon in good condition.

This is why the text also mentioned that they still recorded a loss despite their best efforts. So, the task given to them was not an easy one. In business, people have to charge more to deliver a service that is free from issues and this is what the men tried to achieve.
