:suppose you saw a waxing gibbous moon. what phase would you expect one week later?

Waning gibbous moon is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Waxing means that the size of moon is increasing and the gibbous means the shape which is less than a full circle of a full moon. The Waxing gibbous moon rises during the day and at noon. It sets after midnight and is visible in the evenings. As the most of the surface of the moon is illuminated so it is not easy to differentiate the Gibbous from a full moon.
