Question

Choose the appropriate preposition and fill in the blank:

I am not going out yet. I am waiting ______ the train to stop.

• A. for
• B. of
• C. on
• D. at

Answer 1

The correct option is A for

The given sentence conveys that the speaker intends to catch the train. Therefore 'for' is the suitable answer, since 'for' is used to show someone's intention to do something. Thus option A is correct. On the other hand 'of' is used to indicate any relation or belonging . Hence option B is incorrect. The preposition 'on' is used to depict something above, while 'at' is used to denote any specific place or location. Since the sentence speaks about the subject's intention , 'on' and 'at' are unsuitable in the given context. Thus they are incorrect.

Hence the completed sentence becomes: I am not going out yet. I am waiting for the train to stop.
