    Solution

    (c) HENCE is used to show cause-effect relationship. It can be used to join the sentences in 1 and 3. 1- the first sentence tells us the cause- the customer was unhappy with her meal, and the second gives the effect - the chef prepared another. "The customer was displeased with her meal, hence, the chef prepared a replacement."3 - the first sentence tells us the cause - the kittens were too young to eat solid food, and the second gives the effect - they needed to be bottle fed. "The abandoned kittens were too young to eat solid food, hence, we needed to bottle feed them every two hours." Thus, (c) is the right answer. 2 is incorrect as they do not share a cause-effect relationship.
