Following is a set of four sentences. Choose the sentence which is most appropriate – grammatically, semantically & logically. 

  • A.Sorry to keep you. How long are you waiting?
  • B.My apologies for delaying. How long have you been waiting.
  • C.Sorry to keep you. How long have you been waiting?
  • D.Sorry for the delay. Since how long are you waiting?

Answer: B

It is Sorry to keep you. How long have you been waiting?

The waiting began earlier and is still going on, which the present perfect continuous expresses; the present continuous would ask only about this moment. The sentence also needs its question mark, which the other close contender lacks.
