訳 · Translation

The train was late, so I didn't make it to the appointment on time.

正解 · Answer

まにあいませんでした

解説 · Why

The train was late, so じかんにまにあいませんでした (didn't make it in time). まにあう = to be in time.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong

つきました — つく (arrive) alone does not convey "in time"; the point is missing the appointment.

まにあいました — Being late means you did NOT make it in time.

おくれませんでした — Contradicts でんしゃがおくれて (the train was late).
