Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key point: "Await" is a transitive verb meaning "to wait for," so it takes a direct object without a following preposition.
Why the correct sentence is correct:
They await your judgment — This is correct because "await" directly takes "your judgment" as its object.
Why the other choices are wrong:
They wait your judgment — Incorrect because "wait" in this meaning is intransitive and requires "for" (correct: "They wait for your judgment").
They await for your judgment — Incorrect because it redundantly combines "await" with "for." Do not add "for" after "await."
They await upon your judgment — Incorrect and nonstandard here. "Wait upon" can mean to serve someone, so this phrasing does not convey the intended meaning.
Summary: Use "They await your judgment" or, alternatively, "They wait for your judgment."
