Say if a proposed answer to the inference question is:
"We can infer from the passage that elephants always wear pink dresses"
could it be the right answer although it is not realistic?

Ok let me tell this trick to you, First
A GMAT question will not tell you that elephants "always wear pink dressess"
What ever they say can be true in real life, rest assured
Coz to every opposition you put forth, the answer would either be What do you know or That is what we said

Hi EpilepticLearner,
The content/ideas that appear in RC and CR prompts (and even in IR prompts) tends to be drawn from real-world examples, data and logic. You do NOT need to be an 'expert' in any of the subjects discussed in those prompts to answer the specific question(s) that the GMAT gives you to answer - the given information in the prompt (along with some basic critical reasoning skills) will almost certainly be enough to get you to the correct answer.
That having been said, a prompt might describe an individual/group who believes in an idea that is debatable (or potentially incorrect). Thus, an inference question that's based on what that individual/group believes could involve ideas that are not scientifically correct. Those types of situations would be rare on Test Day though, so you likely have nothing to worry about on that issue.
