Answer 2

Answer:

I ordered a taxi for ten to eight but it didn't come for half an hour.

The correct option is 1) For.

Explanation:

• Prepositions refer to the relational words expressing a relationship of meaning between two parts of a sentence most often showing how the two parts are related in space or time.

• Simply, these are function words that denote how a noun or noun phrase relates to the rest part of the sentence.                        

• It is essential to choose correct prepositions carefully because sometimes changing a preposition can completely alter the meaning of the phrase.

• "For" belongs to the preposition of Time showing the duration or length of time.  

• Here in the given sentence, the preposition "for" is used to talk about time and long hours of waiting more than expected.

• For example, They have been working here for 5 years.

The girl has been waiting for more than 2 hours.

Hence the correct preposition is option 1) For.
