8. _______ was late, I missed the appointment. (______terlambat, saya
kehilangan janji)

(C) The train
(D) Since he

From the sentences above we will know those sentences had a verb was
who need a subject. And there are another clause "i missed the
appointment". If you choose answer (A) I or (C) The train so your
answer is nonsense, because the subject only available for verb was,
while you missed the connector for another clause. For the answer (B)
because, it only bring a connector, so it doesn't make a right choice. The
possible answer is (D) since he. He as a subject to verb was : "he was
late" and since as a connector linked the two clauses: he was late and i
miss the appointment.
