they sat there quietly,------the game to start.

问题描述:

they sat there quietly,------the game to start.
a longing for b looking for c expecting for d hoping for 为什么选a, 而不选c啊

long for是个短语,用法是long for sth.to do,expect后面一般跟从句比较多
如果要选C的话,句子应该是:They sat there quietly,expecting that the game would start.
