What is the difference between "before or since" and "since or before"?

I think the correct answer should be A because we never use a sentence like that.

It should be 'The long awaited moment came at last'.

Further, the sentence C is a figure of speech and we can use it like that.

At, in, or never used with "last", "next", 'every", but in 1st option before next 'at' is used. So please this.

>> "Since or before" Its a phrase. We use it like this.

No, the set phrase is "before or since".

Its never before or since, so the answer given is incorrect.

Why a long awaited, why not awaited?

Only isn't superfluous.

Deibor said:   6 years ago

As merry 'as' a band of children I have ever seen before or since.
