Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition.
There is a path _______ the two apartments that people use to reach the next street.

• A. under
• B. below
• C. among
• D. between

Answer 1

The correct option is D between

The prepositions ‘between’ and ‘among’ are frequently confused in spite of their differences. ‘Between’ is used when we compare two distinct elements, whereas ‘among’ is used to compare a group of elements or things. The sentence clearly states that there are two apartments only. Therefore option D is correct, while option C is incorrect. On the other hand prepositions ‘under’ and ‘below’ are used to denote that something is lower than something else. Since a path cannot be at a lower position than the two apartments options A and B are incorrect.
