Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. among.
- The word "among" is used to indicate distribution or division when referring to three or more people or things.
- In this sentence, since the distribution is among the girls, boys, and teachers (three distinct groups), "among" is the appropriate word choice.
