1A library notice and an unstated schedule
One learner reports that the library will be open on Monday because both days are mentioned in the same notice. Another invents a Sunday schedule, although Sunday does not appear. A third distinguishes Monday’s closure from Tuesday’s opening and leaves the unmentioned day unknown. The task asks for the information explicitly established and the limits of inference.

Another says the statement proves every possible general conclusion, because the text mentions data. A third preserves the distinction between having some information and having enough support for a general conclusion.

Another recognizes the noun for book but ignores how the auxiliary and participant marking fit together. A third distinguishes an intransitive coming event from the transitive reading construction.
