The next sentence after she broke her ankle says that Sally was taken to hospital. There is no mention about Sally being taken to school first and then to the hospital. Therfore, one can be certain that she didn't go to school before joining the hospital.

Unless there is a mention that she went to school before moving to the hospital, we can not conclude so.

Sally overslept. Therefore, she did not eat breakfast. She realized that she was late for school, so she ran as fast as she could and did not see a hole in the ground which was in her path. She tripped and broke her ankle. She was then taken to the hospital and while lying in bed was visited by her friend, who wanted to know why she had got up so late.

Which of the following conclusions can be made from the above passage?

(A) Because Sally did not eat her breakfast, she broke her ankle.
(B) Sally's friend visited her in the hospital because she wanted to know why she was late for school.
(C) Sally did not notice the hole because she overslept.
(D) Sally broke her ankle because she went to bed late the previous night.
(E) Sally's broken ankle meant she did not go to school that day.


Cause and effect
Overslept--no breakfast--ran fast-- overlooked hole--broke ankle
A- not the main reason why she broke her ankle
B-too general
C-yes - main reason why she overlooked hole and broke her arm
D- overslept means not sleeping late previous night.
E-out of scope.
