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

Hint:we use since to refer to a point of time. Since can refer to a point after a specific time or event in the past. Or it can refer to a particular point beginning sometime in the past and continuing until the present time.

Complete answer:
Here, the sentence is about a guy who came to Kanpur five years ago and hasn't even been to his hometown since he came here. In such cases, after a starting point, when anything has not happened throughout the time, we use 'ever since'.
 Choice A) 'Since' is used for a time of two separate ages, one of which is the existing one. eOption C) 'Since ever' grammatically incorrect in the given context ever since. So, choice D) is done away with. The best choice, therefore, has been option B) ever since.
