Would you please tell me what this sentence means?
She pulled out the power cable to her office building so she could be sent home early with pay.
I don t undrestand what it means "so she could be sent home early"
Eli 493 "so she could be sent home early" If there was no electricity available in the building, her boss would send everyone home for the day. I don't think he would keep the employees at the office sitting in the dark all day. My guess is that 'with pay' means that she thought she would be paid for a day's work even though she hadn't had to work that entire day.
