Saroj has been suffering with osteoporosis from when she was fifty years old.
Option 1: from osteoporosis since
Option 2: from osteoporosis from when
Option 3: with osteoporosis since
Option 4: no improvement required
Correct Answer: from osteoporosis since
Solution : The first option is correct.
- From should be used in place of with and s ince should be used in place of when to make the sentence correct
- The verb suffering always uses the preposition "from" when it refers to a disease.
- Since is used as a preposition to introduce a date or a specific time in the past, it is normally used with present perfect and past perfect tenses.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Saroj has been suffering from osteoporosis since she was fifty years old.
