Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. since.
- The third part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
- The use of 'since' in the given sentence is erroneous.
- We use 'since' to show the time when the action was started.
- We use 'for' to show the duration of time.
- Thus, 'since' should be replaced with 'for'.
The correct sentence is:
