b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 4
Replace
'for' with
'since'.
'Since' is used with 'ever' as an adverb. The proper way should be 'ever since'.
The correct sentence should be: I met her about ten years ago and have remembered her
ever since.
Since is used in different ways- (i) as an adverb of time (ii) conjunction of time (iii) preposition of time.
As an adverb, it has two meanings.
1) From then (i.e. from some time in the past up to now) | e.g. I met her about five years ago and have remembered her ever since. |
2) At or during some time between then and now | e.g. He told me last month and has spoken of it several times since. |
