Option 3 : Waited patiently

The correct answer is Waited patiently.

The second clause in the sentence is in simple past tense. Therefore, the first part should also be in the simple past tense.

Adverbs of manner are placed after Intransitive verb.
- Intransitive verb: An action verb, which has no object.
  - For example: Enrique sang.
- Adverbs of manner are slowly, so, soundly, skillfully, etc.
In this sentence, “waited” is an intransitive verb and “patiently” is an adverb of manner.
Therefore, the correct answer is: The tiger waited patiently behind the bush and looked for an opportunity to pounce on the unsuspecting deer.

Transitive verb: An action verb that has a direct object.

For example: Eminem dropped his mike. (Here, Eminem is the subject and mike is the object)
In the case of the Transitive verb, the adverb can be placed either before or after the transitive verb.
- For example: He told me the story briefly. (Correct)
- He briefly told me the story. (Correct)
