Question

Explanation:

Options A, B, and C are direct facts explicitly stated in the passage. Option D is an inference: the passage does not directly say they broke up, but we can infer this from Raina's mournful crying before and after receiving Connor's short, detached message about his jacket.

Answer:

D. Raina and Connor broke up.
