Correct Answer: works for eight


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation : The underlined portion should be replaced with works for eight to make the sentence grammatically accurate. Works is the correct usage because the subject is singular, and the preposition for should be used in place of since , as "since" is used to refer to a point in time, whereas "for" is used to specify the duration of time.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "My mother’s sister works for eight hours every weekday."
