Answer:

She would heal more slowly than in the summer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maggie a cyclist met with an accident during her summer off at the medical school. The accident produced a large contusion on the knees of Maggie.

Contusion means leaking of blood under the skin as a result of injured blood vessels or blood capillary.

Had she met with the accident in the finals week, she would have taken more time to heal. Contusion heal faster in summer than in winter seasons because during the summer, the heat increases the blood flow which helps in healing the contusion faster.

Thus the answer is

"She would heal more slowly than in the summer".
