The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
I have waiting / anxiously / for my / exam results.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I have waiting.
The sentence implies that the action of waiting started in the past and is continuing in the present up to this moment.
For such a progressive action that was started in the past, we use the Present Perfect Continuous Tense.
Structure of verb: have/has + been + V-ing
Thus, "have been waiting" will be used in place of "have waiting".
The corrected sentence should be: I have been waiting anxiously for my exam results.
