The correct answer is Option C.
The correct answer is the sentence that forms a link between the first and the third sentence.
Option C is the correct alternative because from the first and third sentence it is clear that as she woke up late, she could not reach her school on time and it had already started. So, the most logical alternative is option C. She missed her bus so she reached late. The missing sentence correctly forms a link between the first and the third sentence.
Option A is incorrect because it is clear that Sheela woke up late in the first sentence. Hence ‘she got ready’ is not suitable as the second alternative as it doesn’t complete the meaning of the sentences.
Option B is incorrect because ‘she got ready in a hurry’ is relatively appropriate but not the best fit for the second alternative as it does not link the two sentences.
Option D is incorrect ‘she had breakfast’ does not complete the meaning of the next sentence.
Hence option C is the correct answer.
