From the words or groups of words below, choose the words or group of words that best complete each of the following sentences:
it is pretty difficult to choose ________ those three boys
A. between B. Over C. against D. among
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A. between.
- Between: This choice is correct because "between" is used when referring to choosing or distinguishing among two or more distinct items. In this case, since there are three boys, "between" is appropriate for indicating a choice among them.
- Over: Incorrect, as it implies a comparison or decision that is not quite suitable for the context of choosing among individuals.
- Against: Incorrect, as it suggests opposition rather than making a choice.
- Among: Incorrect in this context because "among" is typically used when referring to choices or decisions involving more than two items in a group, but "between" is more precise for fewer items.
Summary:
- It is pretty difficult to choose between those three boys is the appropriate phrase for indicating a choice among the three boys.
