Answer 1

Answer:

in the park, there were a lot of kids running _about_

Answer 2

In the park, there were a lot of kids running about. -This is the answer.

Explanation:

• We need to select the correct answer and complete the sentence from the given options.
• Option b) 'among' is wrong. It means 'one out of many'. So it does not make complete meaning by saying 'running among'.
• Option c) 'across' is incorrect. It is because 'across' means from one side to its opposite direction. Moreover, it makes incomplete by telling 'running across'.
• Option d) 'along' is also wrong. It is because it means 'with'. This again makes no complete sense when 'running along' is said.
• Option a) 'about' is the correct answer. Actually, 'running about' means running hither and thither/ here and there. The phrase 'running about' means moving in a disorganised manner.
• Therefore the answer is: In the park, there were a lot of kids running about.
