Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The word "since" is typically used to indicate a point in time for an action or event. On the other hand, "for" is used to denote a duration of time, which is the correct preposition to be used here according to the context of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "Our new neighbours had been living in Arizona for ten years before moving to their present house".
