They arrived at about midnight _.
Correct answer: B. because their flight was delayed.
- A. because their flight was detained.
- B. because their flight was delayed.
- C. because their flight was derailed.
- D. because their flight was diverted.
Explanation
The sentence indicates that they arrived at about midnight, suggesting a delay in their flight's arrival time. Therefore, 'delayed' is the most appropriate choice, as it directly relates to the flight arriving later than scheduled. 'Detained' is inappropriate as it refers to holding people, 'derailed' is irrelevant to flights, and 'diverted' implies a change of destination rather than a delay in arrival time.
