The correct inference from the passage is that Connor wants his jacket back. The passage does not explicitly state a breakup; it only reveals Raina's emotional state and a text message from Connor requesting his jacket. Here option C is correct.

The passage doesn't explicitly state that Raina and Connor broke up, only that Raina is upset and received a text message from Connor asking for his jacket.

The fact that Raina has a cell phone is explicitly mentioned in the passage, so it is not an inference. The statement "Raina received a text message" is also explicitly mentioned in the passage.

The inference that can be made is that Connor wants his jacket back based on the content of the text message, but the passage doesn't provide information about the status of Raina and Connor's relationship beyond this specific situation. Here option C is correct.
