Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. here for one month.
- The part of the sentence here since one month is incorrect as it uses a wrong preposition i.e. 'since'.
- The preposition 'since' is used with a point in time in past.
For example: It was the band's first live performance since May 1990.
- In the given sentence, the correct preposition is 'for' as it is used with a period of time in past, present and future.
For example: She's been on the phone for hours.
The correct sentence is: Suresh has only been working here for one month and he has already learnt the job.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. here for one month.
