Camilla Medina · Answer 1

I would deduce from the paragraph that Andrew Carnegie was a person who is generous and donates money to good causes.

For the question, 4, I think that infer's synonym would better be described as suggest. For that reason, suggest is the most reasonable answer and the word the author most likely used.
