EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Abetween
- Bamong
- Cfrom
- Dwith
Explanation
'Between' is used for two distinct persons or things; 'among' is used when something is shared within a group of three or more. The property is divided among his daughters and sons - a group, not two individuals. 'From' and 'with' cannot express distribution at all. Hence among, option B, is correct.
