Grammar
two choices
….(1)…., hours later you feel disappointed, as you continue to wait patiently for your boarding call. Of course, you won’t gain anything ….(2)…. .
- a) However b) Whereas c) Consequently d) In short
- a) to complain b) by complaining c) to complaining d) complain
I thought the first choice could be however or consequently. but however sounds me better than consequently.
And the secound choice must be by complaining. Essentially i have no doubt with second choice neverthless i wrote.
The other thing that i didn't understand as you continue to wait ...............................
What does it mean especially? why there is as.

Hi Yunus, The four options for the first blank are all conjunctions. They're used to link clauses, sentences... together.

- So I can't give you a correct choice because I don't know what the context is.
- " as you continue to wait patiently for your boarding call " - I think "as" in this clause means "because".

Without context, all I can say about the first problem is that "whereas" is not possible. The choice depends on what preceded, in my opinion.
"as" in "as you continue to wait" means "while".
