Il ___ depuis deux heures quand elle est arrivée.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. attendait

  1. Step 1: The waiting was already in progress when she arrived. Step 2. A continuing past action takes the imparfait. Answer: attendait. Why not the others: the present and future do not fit, and the passé composé presents the waiting as finished.
