Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.
I have been living in this country since last several years but have never experienced any discrimination.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. for the last several years.
"for the past several years": This option accurately replaces "since last several years" with the correct preposition "for" to indicate the duration of time. Additionally, "the past several years" effectively communicates the same meaning as "since last several years" without redundancy.
This option maintains the original meaning of the sentence while improving its clarity and grammatical correctness.
Therefore, the revised sentence is: "I have been living in this country for the past several years but have never experienced any discrimination."
