Answer 2

Answer:

The correct preposition is -Besides

Besides, Peter and John, there were three other boys present.

Explanation:

• A preposition is a relational word used to interface things, pronouns, or expressions to different words inside a sentence.

• They function to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a sentence and establish a relationship between them.  

• These are usually short and simple relational words, normally placed directly at the beginning of nouns.

• "Besides" is a preposition which means "also" or "in addition to" i.e. in addition to someone or something else that is being mentioned.

• As a linking word, we put a comma before and after besides in writing.

• "Besides" a single word preposition also refers to "apart from".  

• For instance, What other types of ice cream flavour do you like besides vanilla?    

Therefore, the correct and final preposition to be put in the blank space is "besides."i.e.  

Besides, Peter and John, there were three other boys present.
