1. Sally arrives at home at 4:30 and knows that her mother does not get off of work until 5pm. She also sees that the lights are off in their house. What is the inference of this situation. A. Sally's mother arrived already. B. Her mother is not yet home. C. She came home late at night. D. There is a stranger in their house. Jonnif​

Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the lights are still off, her mother wouldn't have arrived since no one turned it on.

Answer 2

B. Her mother is not yet home

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the lights are off, Sally infers that there is probably no one to turn on the lights, meaning that no one is home [she knows it is 4:30 so she does not infer that it is night].

No one being home - A and D are incorrect

It not being night time - C is incorrect
