Question

Fill in the blank-Do not eat the cake. Wait __your friends come.

Answer 1

Step 1 — Analyze the sentence:
The sentence is: Do not eat the cake. Wait __ your friends come.
Here, the blank requires a word that expresses waiting until a particular time or event happens.

Step 2 — Suitable connector:
The correct word is till. It is used as a conjunction meaning “up to the time when” or “until.”

Step 3 — Apply the word:
The complete sentence becomes:
Do not eat the cake. Wait till your friends come.

Step 4 — Conclude:
Thus, the correct word to fill the blank is till.

Answer: The correct answer is Till.

Answer 2

This can be solved by testing each time-word against the imperative "Wait ___ your friends come" and checking whether it correctly marks a boundary up to which the waiting continues.

1. Test "when": "Wait when your friends come" describes a single point in time rather than a stretch of waiting that leads up to that point, so it does not fit the sense of continued waiting.
2. Test "as": "Wait as your friends come" suggests the waiting and the arriving happen at the same time, which does not match a period of waiting that ends only once the friends arrive.
3. Test "till": "Wait till your friends come" correctly frames a stretch of waiting that continues up to the boundary marked by the friends' arrival, matching the intended sense exactly.

Testing each word against the boundary sense required by the sentence shows that only one of them correctly frames continued waiting up to an event.

Hence, the correct answer is Till.
