Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option B i.e. since 1970 to 1985.

  • The error lies in part B of the statement because of the wrong use of the Preposition.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "since" with "from" for making the statement grammatically correct. 
  • As there is "to" after since we need to change since with "from".
  • The construction for "form" is "from ........... to ............., that is followed by Part B of the statement so it will be correct.

The correct sentence will be- 

Madhu lived in Mumbai from 1970 to 1985, but is now living in Chennai.
