Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He's been with us ____ ten years.

• A. since
• B. from
• C. in
• D. for

Answer 1

The correct option is D for

The sentence indicates that 'He' has been with the subjects during the last ten years. Thus, the answer must mean 'during'.

Option A is incorrect. 'since' means 'from then till now' and not 'during'. Thus, it does not have the correct meaning and is not the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect. 'from' indicates a starting point in a journey or in time. It does not mean 'during'. Thus, it does not have the correct meaning and is not the correct answer.

Option C is incorrect. 'in' means 'included within' and not 'during'. Thus, it does not have the correct meaning and is not the correct answer.

Option D is correct. 'for', in this case, means 'during'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.
