"awaiting" as well as "waiting for" is right to use.

Sathish said:   6 years ago
Either we have to say waiting for or awaiting. This is actually correct.

Hitesh Saai said:   10 years ago
Awaiting means "waiting for" so the word "for" is not needed over here.

Guys! Stop the discussion, don't confuse it. The given answer is right.

Harsha said:   1 decade ago
I think here the sentence is in past tense 'were' awaited is correct.

Sudheer said:   10 years ago
Use "waiting for" or 'awaiting' both are same don't use awaiting for.

Riya said:   1 decade ago
It sounds good when using "for". But I need to which one is correct.

Ravi said:   1 decade ago
Awaiting is never followed by for because it includes for in itself.

Avinash said:   1 decade ago
If we remove "for" the sentence is in a improper form.....

Raj Siddu said:   1 decade ago
"awaiting" itself means waiting for. So, no need to use "for" again.
