Choose the word or set of words that best completes the following sentence.

After not seeing her husband for three months, Pamela greatly                      for his return from the business trip.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

From what we can tell in this sentence, Pamela seems to desire greatly that her husband return home. None of the other answers really make much sense in this regard. The only one that does make sense is "longed." The word "long" can be used as a verb meaning, "To desire greatly." For example, you could say, "After thirty straight days of loud construction, I longed for a quiet morning on my street."
