Question

    Find out which word can be filled up in the blanks in

    sentence in the same sequence to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningfully complete. Ritwik has been writing a book ……….. three days
    A for Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B since Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C from Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D all (1), (2) & (3) are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Option (2) uses “since” which is used to indicate a starting point from which an ongoing action has begun and not a duration as used in the sentence. Option (3) uses “ from” which is also used to indicate a starting point and not a duration as used in the sentence.  Option (1) rightly uses “for” to indicate an entire time duration – 3 days.
