Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
I have been living in Delhi ______ April 1995.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. since.

Context: The sentence talks about an action that started in the past and is still continuing — "I have been living in Delhi".

Meaning of the words:
Since – from a specific point in time till now
With – shows association or togetherness
For – used to show duration of time
Through- means from one end to the other

Correct word: Since is used when we mention a specific point in time (like April 1995).

Reason: We use "since" with perfect tenses when a specific starting time is mentioned.
Example: She has been working here since 2010.

Final Sentence: I have been living in Delhi since April 1995.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
