Explanation:

In French, "depuis" is used to indicate a starting - point of an action that continues up to the present. "Il y a" is used to express a time in the past. "Pendant" is used to indicate a duration of time during which an action takes place. For the first sentence, "Mathilde ne peut pas rentrer à temps pour diner depuis un mois", "depuis" is correct as it shows the action (not being able to come back in time for dinner) has been going on for a month up to now. For the second sentence, "On n'a pas répondu au téléphone pendant le repas", "pendant" is correct as it indicates the action (not answering the phone) happened during the meal.

Answer:

Question 24: a. depuis
Question 25: c. pendant
