In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the alternative that indicates 'No improvement.' Kartik had been living in Jaipur while he moved to Kolkata. Correct Answer Before

The correct option is 3 as preposition ‘before’ should be used as ‘had been’  gives a clue that he was living in Jaipur before he moved to Kolkata.

'When' and 'since' do not fulfil the requirement.

When is used to ask ‘ at what time’ and since is used to indicate ‘something that started in past is still going on until now’.

Therefore, the correct sentence is:

Kartik had been living in Jaipur before he moved to Kolkata.
