CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q "I have not seen" needs whom: P "my cousin since". "Since" is followed by a point in time or a clause.

  2. S is that clause, "he moved to Pune", and R says when he moved.

  3. So the order is QPSR: "I have not seen my cousin since he moved to Pune three years ago."

Worth noting

QPRS reads "since three years ago", which is wrong English: "since" needs a point in time, such as "since 2023", not a length of time with "ago".
