Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. to shop.
The phrase “waiting for Asha for shopping” is awkward and incorrect.
The correct way to express the purpose of waiting for someone to go shopping is “waiting for Asha to shop.”
Option 1 correctly uses the infinitive form “to shop” indicating the activity.
Option 2 (to see shopping) is incorrect and awkward.
Option 3 (to shopper) is incorrect; “shopper” is a noun, not a verb.
Option 4 (to hold shop) is incorrect and irrelevant here.
