Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:

I came to Kanpur five years ago, but __________ I have not been to my home town.

• A. Since
• B. Ever since
• C. Since ever
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ever since

Here, the sentence talks about a person who came to Kanpur five years ago and since he has come, he has not once gone to his hometown. In such cases, when something has not happened throughout the period since a starting point, we use ever since. Option A) since is used for a period between two specific times, one of which is the present. Option C) since ever is grammatically incorrect in the given context. So, option D) is eliminated. Therefore, the best option is option B) ever since.
