    Solution

    (e) BECAUSE is used to show a cause-effect relationship. Both sentences in 1, 2 and 3 share a cause-effect relationship. 1- the first sentence tells us the cause: the roads were covered in ice, and the second tells us the effect: it was not safe to drive. "Because the roads were covered in ice, it was not safe to drive."2 - the first sentence tells us the effect: they were angry, and the second tells us the cause: their plans had been discovered. "They were angry because their plans had been discovered."3 - the first sentence tells us the effect - he remained seated, and the second tells us the cause: he could not get up and take his leave. "He felt uneasy and embarrassed, but sat on, because he simply could not get up and take his leave." Thus, (e) is the right answer.
