Aimee had a painful childhood because :

A. both her legs did not have bones.
B. she underwent a lot of surgeries.

  • A.Only A is correct
  • B.Only B is correct
  • C.Both A and B are correct
  • D.Both A and B are incorrect

Answer: C

Both A and B are correct, so the answer is both A and B are correct.

The passage tells of a painful childhood in these terms: she was born with no shin bones, her legs were amputated, and she 'had to undergo a number of surgeries at the age of two, five and eight, and had to spend a long time in a hospital'. B is directly stated. A says her legs did not have bones, which loosely matches the missing shin bones that caused the amputation.

Taken strictly, the passage says shin bones were missing and not the whole leg. The question treats this as the cause of the pain, and the key accepts A on that reading. Options that reject A or B reject one of the two reasons the passage gives.
