Item to find: transitive verb (include auxiliary if applicable)There was an explanation for Isabella's tardiness this morning. Her alarm had sounded at the usual time, but she ignored it, as she often does. Having overslept, she decided to drive her car to work instead of taking the train. Unfortunately, she was delayed by an accident that was stalling traffic for miles. She has never been as late to work as she was today, so she is staying late to make up the time.
