Answer 3

To construct a coherent sentence using the given options, you could say:

"I have never been here before, like my friend has. We took a taxi in case we were late, because Joanne interviewed a client."

This sentence combines "like" to compare your situation with your friend's, "in case" to explain the reason for taking a taxi, and "because" to indicate the reason for Joanne typing the reports.
