Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B. in, for
Explanation
'In' is used before the name of a city, and 'for' is used with a period of time (for three years), while 'since' is used with a point of time. So the correct pair is in, for.शहर के नाम से पहले ‘in’ का प्रयोग होता है और समय की अवधि (तीन वर्ष) के साथ ‘for’ आता है, जबकि ‘since’ समय-बिंदु के साथ प्रयुक्त होता है। अतः सही युग्म in, for है।More English Language & Pedagogy questions
