HARD SAT WRITING QUESTION

Hi can someone please help me with this hard question?

Margo was upset (how) the zoo (was wasting) valuable resources on (moving sidewalks) when the lions (needed) a new enclosure. (None)

The answer is A, which I don’t understand :confused:

Make it a simpler sentence to see what I find wrong about it…

Margo was upset about her mistake.
Margo was upset her mistake.

In this case, shouldn’t it be “that”?

Sure, that works too. Either way, you can’t be “upset how.”

Or “because”

Ah that makes sense
