Which excerpt from Tom Sawyer allows the reader to infer the time of year? She did not finish, for by this time she was bending down and punching under the bed with the broom, and so she needed breath to punctuate the punches with. She went to the open door and stood in it and looked out among the tomato vines and “jimpson” weeds that constituted the garden. “It’s mighty hard to make him work Saturdays, when all the boys is having holiday, but he hates work more than he hates anything else, and I've got to do some of my duty by him, or I'll be the ruination of the child.” While Tom was eating his supper, and stealing sugar as opportunity offered, Aunt Polly asked him questions that were full of guile, and very deep—for she wanted to trap him into damaging revealments.

Tomato and jimson weeds need warm weather to grow and bloom, so this is the excerpt that allows the reader to infer the time of year that history is going through at that moment.

Before anything else, the soil can not be cold, otherwise the tomato will hardly grow (the same is worth the weeds "jimpson"). This means that summer is the best season to observe the growth and flowering of this plant.

The excerpt that allows us to infer the time of the year is "... and looked out among the tomato vines and “jimpson” weeds that constituted the garden."

What is inference?

Inference is the act or process of inferring, which means reaching a conclusion based on information you have. We must read the excerpts and find the one with information that allows us to infer the time of the year.

In that case, the best option is "She went to the open door and stood in it and looked out among the tomato vines and “jimpson” weeds that constituted the garden." Tomato and jimpson weeds need warm weather to grow, so we can infer it is most likely summer.
