Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error. A. The company has been B. experiencing a lot of C. problems since D. the last two years.
problems since
The sentence describes an ongoing situation using the present perfect continuous tense 'has been experiencing'.
With a stretch of time such as 'the last two years' we must show duration, and duration takes the preposition 'for'.
The word 'since' is used only for a point of time when something began, for example 'since 2023' or 'since Monday'.
Here 'the last two years' is a period, not a starting point, so 'since' is incorrect.
The segment 'problems since' therefore holds the error; it should be 'problems for'.
The corrected sentence reads 'experiencing a lot of problems for the last two years'.
The remaining parts 'The company has been', 'experiencing a lot of' and 'the last two years' are all correct.
Thus the part with the error is problems since.
