To determine the most appropriate word to complete the sentence, let's consider the context. The sentence states that Joshua took a nap. Now we need to find a word or words that indicate a logical relationship between taking a nap and sorting the mail.

A. "After" indicates that Joshua took a nap first and then sorted the mail.
B. "Instead of" implies that Joshua chose to take a nap instead of sorting the mail.
C. "While" suggests that Joshua took a nap at the same time as sorting the mail.
D. "Before" indicates that Joshua took a nap before he started sorting the mail.

Based on the context, the most suitable word to complete the sentence would be "C. while." This indicates that Joshua took a nap at the same time as sorting the mail.
