Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. amongst.

Context:  The sentence is: “It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace (5) ___ all people.”
The blank must indicate in relation to or involving all people collectively.

Meaning of the words:

  • into – indicates movement or transformation, irrelevant here.

  • at – indicates direction or target, not suitable for describing peace among people.

  • amongst – means in the company of, involving, or in the midst of; perfectly fits the context.

  • of – indicates possession or belonging, does not fit the sentence.

Correct word: amongst

Final Sentence: It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all people.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
