I cannot tell the difference between A and C.

If Ken comes late, ______ is usual for another time, we'll not receive him any more.
A. as B. which
which of the choices is better? or both are acceptable?
PS: What does "______ is usual for another time" mean?


Thanks

"usual for another time" - don't use this

thanks for your reply.

But why did you choose C?

Since it also can refer to typing my letter, why cannot we use it instead?
