As we both fed our eyes wistfully at the used under wear section. Vivian noticed a heap of women's undenvear. a mixture of braziers of various sizes and designs. panties, g-strings and tongs. underskirts, lingerie of different colours, all heaped and scattered on a big bedspread like a pile of rubbish. Some were quite ancient and threadbare. while a few appeared not to have suffered much oppression in the hands and private parts of their previous owners. It was apparent that the international businessman who imported such inglorious assortment had agents with prongs. long enough to dig deep into the deepest and fathermost refuse bins and home.
We can infer from the passage above that
A. the effort of international businessmen was commended by the writer for their contribution to Nigeria is economy B. the writer for their contribution to Nigerian government has not been doing enough to encourage importers of goods to remain in business and recoup mones they have invested in their business C. the writer makes comic comments on the porous Nigeria borders through - which contraband goods are imported into the country D. the writer subtly castigates and derides the patronage of substandard goods that dots the Nigerian markets in the name of imported goods.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The writer subtly castigates and derides the patronage of substandard goods that dots the Nigerian markets in the name of imported goods. Inference statement is a statement not directly said but rather implied. It is what is true that the writer did not say. It can only be deduced. The writer uses a subtle sarcastic tone to condemn and lambaste the importation of low-quality wears into Nigeria in such a way that the derision attracts amusement.
