Solution

The correct option is B
She sat in the front row of her class.

See the first paragraph. Option A is contradicted in the first paragraph. Option C is perhaps true but is not in the passage. Option D is incorrect because, although the president's assistant escorted Autherine Lucy to class, the passage does not say that the assistant befriended her. Accompanying her to class may just have been his assigned job. Hence the correct answer is option B.

She was thinking that she must reprimand her maid the next morning for such a monstrous piece of negligence, when she remembered that she had gone shopping after her maid had left and she had turned both the keys in their locks. She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the room doors were opened, yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out. Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of confusion over by her writing desk.

By this time her legs were beginning to tremble, so she sat down and accepted a cup of very strong tea, while she telephoned the police. Then her composure regained, she was ready to set-off with the porter’s assistance to search for any intruders who might be still lurking in her flat.
