    We lived in Bristol _____ three years.

    The sentence tells about the time period for which the person lived in Bristol.
    For is a preposition which denotes a time period. Three years is a period. So, for is the correct answer. 
    Usage of 'at' denotes location or a specific time, whereas we have a time period.
    Usage of 'last' could have been correct if there was 'for' before it; "for last three years"
    Usage of 'in' here denotes that the person had lived 'in' three years and we can't live 'in' years. 
    So, option A, C and D are incorrect and B is correct.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with most appropriate word.
    My wife has found a job _____ a personal assistant.
    Solution

    Option D is the correct option here because the sentence shows the function of ‘a personal assistant.’ Hence, ‘as’ and not ‘like’ would be used here because apart from stating comparison, “as” can also be used to state “role” or “function”. So, Option C cannot be used in this sentence. Option A cannot be used as the sentence does not require a verb. Option B cannot be used as it would render the sentence incorrect.
