Detective Time: Your sister was saving the last piece of cake for herself. When you both left for
school at 7:30 a.m., the cake was safely in the refrigerator. When she got home from school at 3:30,
the cake was gone! She calls you, still at school for an after-school meeting, and accuses you of
coming home at lunch and eating it. You did not eat it. In fact, you were in a Spanish club meeting at
lunch with Mrs. Alix. How do you argue your case?
