Which of the following best summarizes Amir's injuries as described by Dr. Faruqi?

• A. No organ damage, just superficial injuries.
• B. Jaw wired together, spleen removed, several broken ribs, a punctured lung, an upper lip split, and an eye socket bone broken.
• C. Broken leg, mild concussion, sprained wrist, minor cut on lip.
• D. A single concussion.

Answer: (B)

The key idea being tested is your ability to recall the exact extent of Amir’s injuries as described by Dr. Faruqi in the hospital scene. In the narrative, Dr. Faruqi details a brutal beating that left Amir with numerous severe injuries: his jaw wired together, the spleen removed, several ribs broken, a punctured lung, an upper lip split, and a broken bone in the eye socket. This combination shows extensive internal and facial trauma, signaling a life-threatening level of injury and the intense medical care that followed. That’s why the option listing multiple serious injuries is the best fit—it lines up with the doctor’s urgent, graphic description and conveys why Amir's recovery would be long and complicated. The other options describe minor or single injuries, which don’t match the severity the surgeon communicates, so they don’t fit the scene as accurately.
