EnglishCorrelating Sentences
- AThe counsellor has been waiting to meet the parents since morning.
- BParents had been waiting to meet the counsellor since the morning.
- CParents are waiting to meet the counsellor in the morning.
- DParents have been waiting since morning to meet the counsellor.
Explanation
The combination must keep the present perfect continuous ('have been waiting') and 'since morning' — option D. A swaps who is waiting, B shifts to the past perfect and adds 'the,' and C changes both tense and meaning ('in the morning').
