#2 The excited crowd eagerly awaited Santa at the school.

These ones always throw me off. Shouldn't change to be to Santa? Since Santa is recieving the "action" of the verb.

#2 The excited crowd eagerly awaited Saint Nick at the mall.

And Uzma actually did change #3.

#3 The excited crowd eagerly awaited Saint Nick at the school.

The enthusiastic crowd eagerly awaited Saint Nick at the school.

UZMA: Abby is correct--you changed the indirect object rather than the direct object;-)
ABBY:Thanks for helping with that--good change:-)
JOSEPHINE:Good--thanks for getting everyone back on track.

#5 The tired crowd eagerly awaited Saint Nick at the school.

#6 The tired crowd eagerly waved Saint Nick at the school.

#7 The tired crowd is eagerly waving Saint Nick at the school.

UZMA: #5--good; #6--with this usage "waved" is an intransitive verb so you need "waved at"; #7--yes, but waving at.../
NEXT STUDENT: Start again with "The tired crowd is eagerly waving at Saint Nick at the school."
