Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution'.
He waits to you for about two hours.
Option 1: has been waiting to you
Option 2: has waiting for you
Option 3: has been waiting for you
Option 4: No substitution
Correct Answer: has been waiting for you
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
The sentence uses the present simple tense (waits), which is incorrect, whereas "waiting for about two hours" suggests an ongoing action. Thus, the present perfect continuous tense (has been waiting) should be used to convey the continuous duration of the waiting.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He has been waiting for you for about two hours."
