Question and options
Choose the option which contains the right preposition to complete the blank:
Raju has not slept __________ yesterday.
Raju has not slept __________ yesterday.
- through
- by
- since
- on
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - since
'Since' marks the point of time from which an action has continued, and it is used with the present perfect: Raju has not slept since yesterday. 'Through', 'by' and 'on' do not mark such a starting point, so they cannot complete this sentence.
