Explanation:

Let’s evaluate each option for blank number 5:

- Option 1: also

- "Also" doesn't fit here because it would imply adding information, which isn't suitable for this context.

- Option 2: why

- "Why" doesn’t make sense in this sentence since it doesn’t logically connect the two clauses.

- Option 3: how

- "How" doesn’t fit well here, as it would usually indicate a manner or state, which isn’t relevant in this context.

- Option 4: as

- "As" is used here to indicate something happening concurrently, which logically fits since Lin arrived at the principal’s office just as the principal was about to go for lunch.

Correct Answer: Option 4: as
