She hasn't called me_______ Monday.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is ‘since’.
The complete sentence is: "She hasn't called me since Monday."
Explanation:
Since: This preposition is used to indicate the starting point of a period of time that continues until the present. Because "Monday" is a specific point in time, "since" is the correct choice.
For: This is used to indicate a duration or length of time (e.g., "for three days").
On: While used for days of the week (e.g., "I saw her on Monday"), it is not used with the present perfect tense ("hasn't called") to show an ongoing state.
At: This is used for a specific time of day (e.g., "at 5:00 PM").
