Question

Father divided his property _____ four sons. (between, among, of, in)

Answer 1

Father divided his property among four sons.

• In the English language, we use the preposition 'among' when we are referring to things which are in a group or things which are not distinct or different from each other.
• In the sentence mentioned in the question, the four sons are not distinct and belong to the same group hence, we will use the preposition 'among' to fill in the blank.
