Question

A Susan has been walking back and forth outside the operating room since 10:00 o'clock last night. She left for a while to get

coffee from the vending machine and continued walking back and forth again, with her coffee and her cellphone in her
hands. By 2:00 in the morning, she received a call. After receiving the call, she started texting Mr. Edgardo, informing him
that she could not go to work today until the next day.

1. Why do you think Susan would not go to work?

2. List evidence to support your answer.​

Answer 1

In my opinion, Susan will not report to work because she has received bad news about surgery from a loved one, family member or friend of hers. This is so because Susan is described walking nervously out of the operating room, with her phone in her hand waiting for some kind of news regarding what was happening there inside her. Thus, upon receiving it, her mood was so negatively affected that she decided to take a day at work to recover.
