In this sentence, the speaker is saying that they waited for their friend for half an hour, but their friend did not arrive. The most likely explanation for this is that the friend did not show up at all, or that they arrived late. In either case, the speaker would be disappointed and frustrated. The word “turn up” is the most appropriate word to use in this sentence because it means to arrive or appear. The speaker is hoping that their friend will turn up soon.
The other options are not as appropriate in this context. The word “turn about” means to change direction and face the opposite way. This would not make sense in this sentence, because the speaker is not saying that their friend changed direction. The word “turn around” means to move so that one’s back is now facing the direction one was previously facing. This would also not make sense in this sentence, because the speaker is not saying that their friend turned around and walked away. The word “turn in” means to go to bed. This would not make sense in this sentence, because the speaker is not saying that their friend went to bed.
