The correct answer is "enough young boys" because it follows the correct adjective order. In English, we usually use adjectives in a specific order: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. In this case, "enough" describes the quantity, and "young" describes the age of the boys. Therefore, "enough young boys" is the correct phrase.Rate this question:

The verb "seen" is the past participle form of "see," which is the correct verb form to use in this tense.Rate this question:

Kept us waiting

A. Kept us waitingExplanation
The correct answer is "kept us waiting" because it is the correct phrasal verb to use in this context. "Kept us to wait" and "made us to wait" are grammatically incorrect. "Made us waiting" is also incorrect as "made" should be followed by an infinitive verb. Therefore, "kept us waiting" is the only grammatically correct option that conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.Rate this question:
