When they arrived at the rendezvous point, what was Gareth's status?

The correct choice suggests that Gareth was not present at the rendezvous point when the others arrived. This conveys a sense of absence, indicating that his whereabouts were unknown or that he failed to show up at the agreed location.

In the context of a rendezvous, a person's status can be interpreted in several ways. Being "nowhere to be seen" implies that despite others arriving as planned, Gareth was completely absent, which creates a sense of urgency or concern among the arrivals about his location or potential reasons for being missing.

The other options indicate various other statuses—being late suggests Gareth arrived eventually but after the others, already being inside implies he had arrived and entered the location prior to their arrival, and not having arrived yet suggests that he was en route but expected at some point. However, none of these options convey the stark absence that being "nowhere to be seen" does, therefore making it the most accurate reflection of Gareth's status upon the others' arrival.
