Fill in the blanks with correct option from :
Distribute these sweets _____ the children.

Question

Accepted Answer

Distribute these sweets **among** the children.

**Explanation:**

*   **Why "among" is correct:** The preposition "among" is used when referring to a distribution or division within a group of three or more individuals. Since "children" implies a group of more than two, "among" is the appropriate choice to indicate that the sweets are to be distributed within that group. It suggests a sharing or allocation within the collective.

*   **Why the other options are incorrect:**

*   **"in":** The preposition "in" indicates location or containment. It doesn't make sense to distribute sweets *in* the children.
    *   **"for":** The preposition "for" indicates purpose or intended recipient. While you might distribute sweets *for* the benefit of the children, the sentence structure implies a direct distribution *to* them, making "among" a better fit. "For" would be more appropriate in a sentence like "These sweets are for the children."
    *   **"against":** The preposition "against" indicates opposition or contact. It makes no sense to distribute sweets *against* the children.
