It is a correct deduction. See explanation.

Explanation:

Let #p# and #q# be logical sentences:

#p# - Jennifer gets her chores done

#q# - Jennifer goes to the mall

The first sentence says that the implication #p ->q# is true.
The next sentence says that at a certain time (by 5 p.m.) the sentence #p# is true.

It is logically correct to deduce that if the sentence #p# is true and the implication #p->q# is also true, then sentence #q# must be true.
