Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

"Since" should be replaced with "for" to convey the intended meaning that Vipul had been sick for some time. The preposition "for" is the correct preposition to denote the period of time. "Since" is used when a particular time is used. There is an error in the use of the preposition in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Vipul has been suffering from fever for seven days."
