Answer options

  1. am waiting
  2. have been waiting
  3. was waiting
  4. had waited

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: have been waiting

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) have been waiting šŸ“š Explanation: The use of 'since' indicates an action that started at a specific point in the past and is still continuing. This requires the Present Perfect Continuous tense. 'Am waiting' is the present continuous and does not account for the duration starting in the past. Thus, 'have been waiting' is the only accurate choice.
