Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. from childhood
- The use of the preposition 'from' is incorrect in the sentence.
- The use of the word 'childhood' tells about the time when you were a child.
- Therefore the preposition 'since' should be used as preposition 'from' is used to show direction, time, place.
- The preposition 'since' is used to tell about a particular time in the past.
Hence, the correct sentence is "I never miss a cricket match as I am fond of cricket since childhood.
The correct answer is-
from childhood
