New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: have been living
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
Have been living fits perfectly in the sentence, meaning that they started living together in the past and continue to do so now.
The option has lived is incorrect since the singular verb is used with the plural subject; was lived is grammatically incorrect; and have lived doesn't convey the continuous nature of the sentence.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Aakash and Deepak have been living together for a long time."
