Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: for five o'clock
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The error lies in the use of the preposition for with a specific point in time. Instead of for, the appropriate preposition to use here is since to indicate the starting point of Ritu's waiting.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Ritu was really annoyed as she had been waiting for me at the metro station since five o'clock.
