Error Detection In Prepositional Phrases

Detect the error: Because of the cricket tournament/ organizational work hardly / I have had any / rest since one week?

Answer: Rest since one week

The error is in the phrase "Rest since one week."

Corrected phrase: It should be "rest for the past week" or "rest for a week."

The phrase "since one week" is incorrect in English.

"Since" is used to refer to a specific point in time (e.g., "since Monday"), while "for" is used to refer to a duration (e.g., "for a week").

So the correct sentence should be: "Because of the cricket tournament and organizational work, I have hardly had any rest for the past week."
