How would you answer this JLPT N4 question? Fill in the blank. アルさん、お帰りなさい。 今日タスさんがおみやげを持ってきてくれました。トゥリアントートいう、タイだけで売られているめずらしいおかしだそうです。わたしはダイエットをしているから、食べないので、アルさん、ぜんぶ食べてください。わたしは先にねます。寝る時間がみじかいと太るらしいですから。( )、明日起きたとき、もしわたしがねているたら、起こしてくだいさい。おやすみなさい。 Answer Choices: 1. でも 2 だから 3 それから 4 それなら My textbook says that the answer is 3, それから. Why is that? How would you answer this question?

Carp-san's answer is absolutely correct except that he/she says "それから" means "because of that...", which is misunderstanding. If it were "それだから", "ですから", or something like that, however, it would mean the same as he/she says. On the contrary, "それから" here just means "and". It is a coordinating conjunction you often use when you would like to add a few words to what you have just said or refer to another thing.

I think you can answer this by excluding the other answers, which would roughly be "but" , "therefore" and "if that." それから is saying "because of that..." だから could be correct, but the end of the prior sentence is "ですから" so I think that would sound redundant. The other two choices don't really make sense in the context. Thus それから is saying "because of what I just mentioned..."
