Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. has been waiting.
- The error of the underlined part of the sentence is related to tense.
- We have a period of time as "for two hours".
- The present perfect continuous tense shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time.
- Hence, the correct substitution will be "has been waiting".
The complete sentence will be: She has been waiting for you for two hours.
