Question and options
Which part of the sentence contains a semantic error?
The author implied several conclusions from the data; however, some of them contradicted each other
The author implied several conclusions from the data; however, some of them contradicted each other
- The author implied
- several conclusions
- from the data
- contradicted each other
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - The author implied
One infers (draws) conclusions from data; to imply is to suggest something indirectly. 'Implied several conclusions from the data' uses the wrong word, so the semantic error is in 'The author implied' (it should be 'inferred'). The rest of the sentence is correct.
