    Solution

    A tells us that Aldana appeared on a talk show. B tells us what she said at this talk show. WHERE can be used to link these two statements, as it refers to the place (talk show event) where she gave her opinion. C tells us of an action she intended to commit that contradicted her opinion earlier. HOWEVER and NEVERTHELESS can be used here. 4 and 1 & 4 and 3 are possible connectors, out of which only the first is given in the options. The joined sentence are: "That evening, Aldana appeared on a prime-time talk show whose hosts seemed overwhelmed by the news, where she said it was lamentable to send anyone to prison, let alone a democratically elected president; however, she intended to carry out the arrest in the next 48 hours." Thus, (e) is the right answer.
