Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

Ever since is a phrase used to indicate that an action or situation started at some point in the past and has continued up to the present. In this context, it effectively conveys that they haven't spoken to each other since the quarrel.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Because is used to show a reason or cause, while for is used to indicate a purpose or intention.

So, the sentence should be: They have not spoken to each other ever since they quarrelled.
