Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: 'The headmaster distributed the prizes _______ all the winners of the competition.'

Options

Option A

between

Option B is correct

among

Option C

with

Option D

into

Explanation

The correct option is 'among'. We use 'among' when we refer to distributing something to, or being in the midst of, more than two people or things (all the winners). 'Between' is incorrect because it is used when talking about only two specific people or things. 'With' (together) and 'into' (indicating motion inside) do not fit the context of distribution.
