B. drink from the waterhole, which was eagerly awaiting
C. which was drinking from the waterhole, eagerly waiting for
D. which was drinking from the waterhole, while eagerly awaiting
E. drink from the waterhole, while eagerly waiting for


POE -

B, D & E eliminate - main clause is not completed

between A & C

C - past form required 'waiting'

so answer A

One question: why is there no "s" at the end of drink in the sentence?

rungedez, that would be incorrect. Why do you think we need a "S" at the end of drinks?

Official Explanation:

We’ll go for LOGICAL because there is a double meaning we can avoid.
The baby elephant was drinking from the waterhole while the pride was watching it and
waiting for it to move away from its herd. The original sentence makes perfect sense,
while answers (B), (C), (D), and (E) use phrases such as which was and while, which make it
seem like the elephant was the one eagerly awaiting, which is not logical in the context of
the sentence.
