Back to paper

Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

We haven't been to Gangotri _________ almost ten years.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. For.

  • The sentence requires a word that shows the duration of time.
  • 'From' shows the initial time.
  • 'To' shows the final time.
  • 'Since' shows duration of time but it requires exact day, date or state.
  • 'For' shows duration of time and hence makes a coherent sentence.

As the chosen option is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank it will be correct.
