    1- The fly was still in it.
    2- It was the same type of tea. (brand, flavour)
    3- She could see inside the kitchen.
    4- It was colder than usual.
    5- He took it and came back really fast.
    6- The cup still had her lipstick mark on it. (assuming she had drank a bit before she discovered the fly or it fell in it)

    Correct Sport!
    She had already put sugar in before spotting the fly!
