• AMath at 10:00
• BMusic at 1:30Correct answer
• CRecess at 12:00
• DReading at 8:30

Why “Music at 1:30” is correct

The schedule does not mention singing, so the student has to connect singing with music class. Using what you know together with the text to make a good guess is part of making inferences.

Why the other answers are wrong

• Math at 10:00 — Math is about numbers, not singing.
• Recess at 12:00 — Recess is for playing outside, not a class about singing.
• Reading at 8:30 — Reading is about books, not singing.
