Answer 1

Answer:She distributed sweets amongst her friends

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

She distributed sweets among her friends.

Explanation:

Both among and amidst are prepositions which describe surrounded by or positioned in the middle of. However, the difference lies in whether the objects are easily countable or uncountable.

In the question, both the sweets and the friends are countable, therefore, the correct preposition is among. Amidst would be used if the sweet were distributed in the crowd as that would make a large group of people that would be hard to count.
