Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: commanded.

Explanation: In the context of the sentence, "commanded" is the correct word to use to indicate that someone was given an order or directive to wait. 

"command"

  • It is a noun and does not work as a verb in this sentence. It doesn't convey the same sense of receiving an order to wait.

given command

  • It is not a standard phrase in English and does not convey the intended meaning as effectively as "commanded."
