Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We lived in Bristol _____ three years.

• A. last
• B. for
• C. at
• D. in

Answer 1

The correct option is B for

The sentence tells about the time period for which the person lived in Bristol.

For is a preposition which denotes a time period. Three years is a period. So, for is the correct answer.

Usage of 'at' denotes location or a specific time, whereas we have a time period.

Usage of 'last' could have been correct if there was 'for' before it; "for last three years"

Usage of 'in' here denotes that the person had lived 'in' three years and we can't live 'in' years.

So, option A, C and D are incorrect and B is correct.
