Answer 2

Answer:

We have been expecting them to arrive since last Friday.

Explanation:

• In the given question we have to choice right tense for the verb.
• As the people given are more in number we should use have.
• We can't use was or is as they are used for singular nouns.
• The given tense here is present perfect continuous tense.
• Present perfect continuous tense shows something that started in past and still continuing in the present.
• As in the sentence they are still waiting.

• The order in present perfect continuous tense for plural form is noun + have + been + verb + ing.
• So the answer is We have been expecting them to arrive since last Friday.
