Question

7. Fill in the blank with the suitable preposition:

There was a skirmish ________ my brother and sister.

a) among b) between c) over d) into​

Answer 1

Answer:

there was a skirmish between my brother and sister.

Answer 2

There was a skirmish between my brother and sister.

• We are using "between" as the proposition for the given sentence.
• Preposition:  These are the words used before a noun, pronoun, or a noun phrase indicating direction, time, movement, etc.,
• The word "between" indicates that the skirmish is just going on just between the brother and the sister.
• The other option "into" or "over" is not the correct preposition as it does not give the correct meaning required for the sentence given.
• The option "among" is used only when there is an act going on between many people not in this sentence.
