My cousin has been ill since three days .
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. for three days.
- 'Since' means 'because', but the context of the sentence doesn't try to say that the cousin has been ill because of three days.
- So, by using 'for' we are able to make proper sense because 'for' denotes the time-period during which the said illness have lasted.
- Hence, this option makes the whole sentence complete and accurate.
