Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct replacement for the underlined part of the sentence is "for two months."
Explanation:
Use "for" to describe a duration or a period of time (e.g., two months, five years, three hours).Use "since" to describe a specific point in time when an action began (e.g., since Monday, since 2010, since 8:00 AM).
Context: In the sentence "The team has been preparing for the match...", "two months" is a total duration of time, making "for" the correct preposition.
