Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The preposition since should be changed to for. When referring to a duration of time, one should use for to indicate how long something has been happening. Since is used to pinpoint a specific point in time when an action began.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I have known him for two years.
