Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I have not seen my best friend ________ nearly a fortnight.

• A. ago
• B. for
• C. since
• D. while

Answer 1

The correct option is B for

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.

The correct answer is option B) for as it indicates a duration.

'Ago, 'since' and 'while' cannot be used here as they indicate past, present with a reference to the past, and a difference.
