B.表示时间关系的分词短语可由while,when引出。如：

A.saw B.watched C.noticed D.observed
分析：B。题干中until it disappeared in the distance 表明“他们在注视着火车，直到它在视野中消失。”see(be able to use your eyes to look at things and know what they are);watch (look at and pay attention to something that is happening;);notice(see,hear,or feel something);observe(see and notice sth.)从上面内容可知答案为B。

C.are handing out D.is to hand out
