The best sentence to add between sentence 4 and sentence 5 is:

To determine the answer, we can look at the context of the paragraph. The main subject throughout the paragraph is Sasha's nervousness about going out-of-town for the first time. Sentence 4 states that Sasha had never been away from home before, indicating her anxiety about this new experience. Sentence 5 suggests that someone provided Sasha with support or guidance before her first out-of-town trip.
The sentence "Luckily, Mrs. Greene, the choir director, understood my nervousness" serves as a logical link between these two ideas. It explains that someone, in this case, Mrs. Greene, understood Sasha's nervousness and likely provided her with advice or reassurance before her out-of-town trip.
