Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A factual question can be answered from something stated directly in the passage, for example "How old was the narrator when he left home?" An inferential question asks for something the passage implies but does not state, for example "What does the narrator's reaction tell you about his feelings for his father?"
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
An inferential answer should still point to evidence in the passage.
