Correct Answer: since
Solution : The second option is correct.
Explanation: In this sentence, the conjunction since would be used to indicate the starting point of the period during which Dill hadn't eaten. The word since connects the clause He hadn't eaten with the time expression last night. This construction implies that Dill's last meal occurred at some point the night before, and the consequence of not eating continues from that time onward.
