EnglishPrepositions and Determiners
- Aamong
- Bbetween
- Cwith
- Dbesides
Explanation
The preposition “between” is used for distinct, individual items even when there are more than two — Switzerland is situated in the middle of four separate countries. “Among” would wrongly suggest Switzerland is one member of the group rather than surrounded by them. “With” and “besides” do not express this geographical relation. Hence (b) between.
