Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The phrase "three hours ago and have been waiting" is incomplete without the word "ever" between "since" and "then" to form "ever since." This phrase is used to indicate that the waiting has been continuous from that time onward.
Therefore, the corrected sentence is, "We have finished our work three hours ago and have been waiting for you ever since ," which correctly conveys the continuous action since a specific point in time.
