1.
A: What time did the mail arrive this morning?
B: It came while I was having breakfast.

2.
A: Was Tracey at work today?
B: She wasn't going  to work. She was sick. <--- This sentence would be a reply from someone who did not know definitely about Tracey. The person was told something in advance

C: She wasn't at work. She was sick.  <--------------- This sentence  was from someone who was present at Tracey's work and  definitely knew she was not there.

 

The word "sick" - this implies that the person was vomiting.

The word "ill"  - this covers a range of things that Tracey might have had - vomiting, diahorrea, headache, fever, nausea, cramps   etc. It is a more general term
