Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
The original sentence, "For the first time from 2009", is grammatically incorrect. When we want to indicate a point in time, we should use since to specify the starting point.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "For the first time since 2009, fans in Pakistan may have a reason to celebrate."
