- The friends decided to play cards to ignore time while waiting for the cab.

- "Ignore" suggests disregarding something, which doesn't fit since they are not disregarding time but engaging with it.

- The friends decided to play cards to kill time while waiting for the cab.

- This is correct. "Kill time" is a common phrase meaning to engage in activities to make time pass more quickly.

- The friends decided to play cards to move time while waiting for the cab.

- "Move" time isn't a recognized phrase in this context, so it doesn't fit well.

- The friends decided to play cards to ease time while waiting for the cab.

- "Ease" typically relates to reducing difficulty or tension, and doesn’t commonly apply to passing time in this context.
