Shu-hui heard a crash in another room of her home. When she walked into the room, she saw a vase broken on the floor. Does Shu-hui have enough facts to accuse her son of breaking the vase?

What will be an ideal response?

Shu-hui may not have enough facts to accuse her son of breaking the vase as
she did not observe what happened when the vase fell to the floor. She may be making
an inference, which is an interpretation and/or evaluation of the fact that the vase is on
the floor broken and her son is in the house.
