Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. waiting for me.
- The given sentence is grammatically incorrect and fails to convey the intended meaning. The underlined segment was intended to mean that the children were waiting for the speaker to arrive.
- However, "waiting for me" would have been the most common and neutral way of expressing that the children were waiting for the speaker to arrive.
Thus, the correct sentence is:
When I reached home late, I found my children waiting for me.
