Imply and infer are directional word pairs, the same as buy-sell, take-bring, or borrow-lend. An article may imply something, and a reader's understanding of the implied meaning is an inference. A writer may imply, but a reader infers.

- inferred means what do you take from or what do you concluded from or what do you know from paragraphy one based on the evidence you read.

Infer in this context means 'gather' or 'deduce'. For example: "Which of the following can be gathered/deduced from paragraph 1?"
In a more simpler form, it means "Which of these facts can be found in paragraph 1?" or "Which of these facts are implied in paragraph 1?"
I hope this helps!
