Question


Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.
For the (first time from) 2009, fans in Pakistan may have a reason to celebrate.

A.

first time after

B.

first time since

C.

first time along

D.

No improvement

Correct option is B


· Correct answer: (b) first time since
· Grammatical Rule: Use of "since" with a point in time
· The preposition "since" is used when referring to a specific point in time (e.g., a year, a date).
· "From" is incorrect here because it usually denotes a starting point rather than an event occurring for the first time after a gap.
· Incorrect: "first time from 2009" → Correct: "first time since 2009"
· Correct sentence: For the first time since 2009, fans in Pakistan may have a reason to celebrate.
· Example Sentence: This is the first time since 2015 that she has visited her hometown.
