(Among, between) me and you, I think you won the contest
Answer:
Between you and me, I think you won the contest.
- We use the preposition ''between'' in the given blank as it gives the proper meaning to the sentence.
- Both the words, 'between' and 'among' are prepositions.
- we use the 'between' when naming the distinct, individual items that can be 2, 3, or more.
- We use ''among'' when the items are part of a group or are not specifically named that must be 3 or more.
- we always use ''Between you and me'' instead of 'between you and i'. because grammatically 'between you and i' is incorrect.

Answer:
(among, between) me and you I think you won the contest
- Both 'among' (on + OE gemang = in a multitude) and 'between' (by + twain) are Compound Prepositions.
- Among relates a person /thing to more than two others ; normally we have no definite number in mind : The amount of profit was distributed among all.
- Between normally relates a person/thing to two other people/things, but it can be used of more when we have a definite number in mind : Between you and me, I think you won the contest.
- Therefore 'Between' is correct answer.
