Answer 1

1. What are you waiting for?
- Correct
The word order in this sentence is correct. The question is formed by starting with the question word "What" followed by the auxiliary verb "are" and the subject "you" before the main verb "waiting" and the preposition "for."

2. Tell me who you are going to speak to.
- Correct
The word order in this sentence is correct. The sentence begins with the verb "tell" followed by the object "me," then the question word "who," the subject "you," the auxiliary verb "are," the main verb "going," and finally the preposition "to."

3. He asked me about what I was thinking.
- Incorrect
The word order in this sentence is incorrect. The correct word order would be "He asked me what I was thinking about." In the original sentence, the preposition "about" is placed before the question word "what," which is not grammatically correct.
