Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable preposition.

There was a discussion going on _____ the group of students.

• A. By
• B. Between
• C. Among
• D. Within

Answer 1

The correct option is C Among

The sentence talks about a 'discussion'. A discussion cannot happen 'by' the students as it involves a group and so, option A) is incorrect.

'Between' is used when the activity occurs between two people/ two groups and so option B) is incorrect. 'Within' is used to indicate position inside and so option D) is incorrect as well. 'Among' is used to refer to an activity that involves more than two people and, thus, option C) is the correct answer.
