I had to wait for fifteen minutes to the bus.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. for.
Statement: I had to wait for fifteen minutes to the bus.
The usage of the preposition "to" is incorrect as it is used to indicate that there is movement from one place to another.
So, the correct preposition "for" is used to state the purpose of the object or action.
Correct statement: I had to wait for fifteen minutes for the bus.
