Key Points
  • The word "since" is used to indicate the time when something began.
  • Prepositions are words that show the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word in a sentence.
  • In this context, "since" indicates the starting point of the action "he has been in town."
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
