At 6 p.m. I started to get angry with him because he was late as usual vs At 6 p.m. I started to get angry with him because he was late usually

The correct choice is "At 6 p.m. I started to get angry with him because he was late as usual." In this case the phrase "as usual" indicates that someone is late in a typical manner. On the other hand, "usually" is an adverb that describes how often something happens, not the manner in which it happens.
