Dulce et decorum est - Inference questions

This resource provides a carefully designed set of inference-based questions and model answers focused on Wilfred Owen’s Dulce et Decorum Est. These questions go beyond surface-level recall, encouraging students to read between the lines, interpret language, and understand the poem’s deeper meanings, tones, and implications.

Inference questions push students to interpret the text rather than just recall it, building analytical and evaluative skills essential for success in literature exams.

Inference tasks serve as a natural progression from basic retrieval, helping students move toward higher-order responses with greater depth and insight.

Many of the questions are open-ended, making them ideal for prompting group discussion and debate, allowing students to explore multiple interpretations.
