    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.

    "While I was waiting for Asha for shopping, I spilled lemonade on my new trousers."

    A.

    to hold shop

    B.

    to shop

    C.

    to shopper

    D.

    to see shopping

    Correct option is B

    Explanation of the Correct Answer: · "For shopping" is incorrect because "waiting for someone" should be followed by "to + verb."
    · Correct phrase: "waiting for Asha to shop."
    · The corrected sentence:
    · "While I was waiting for Asha to shop, I spilled lemonade on my new trousers."
    Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "To hold shop" → Incorrect; unnatural phrasing.
    · (c) "To shopper" → Incorrect; "shopper" is a noun, not a verb.
    · (d) "To see shopping" → Incorrect; incorrect verb form.
    Thus, the correct answer is (b) "to shop."
