Answer Details
The appropriate interpretation for the given sentence is "her result was as expected."
The sentence states that Susan was the last in the examination, but her result wasn't too different from what had been expected. This means that despite being the last, Susan's result was not a disappointment, but rather it was in line with what had been anticipated.
For example, if Susan had been consistently performing well in her studies, and had prepared adequately for the examination, then her result being as expected would indicate that she had done well despite being the last. Conversely, if Susan had been performing poorly in her studies and had not prepared adequately for the examination, then her result being as expected would indicate that she did not perform well but that her poor performance was not a surprise.
Therefore, the interpretation that her result was as expected is the most appropriate based on the given sentence.
