Answer 2

Answer:

1. New York is  a  large city (a/an/the)

2. The cat jumped  over the fence. (over/ in)

3. The boys are going  for a walk. (on/ for)

4. What is the time  by your watch? (in/by)

5. Distribute these books among the students. (between/among)​

Explanation:

1. New York is  a  large city (a/an/the)

Here an article is to be used. "a" is used before a consonant sound.

2. The cat jumped  over the fence. (over/ in)

Here preposition 'over' is more appropriate as the cat has crossed the fence.

3. The boys are going  for a walk. (on/ for)

Here preposition 'for' is used to indicate purpose.

4. What is the time  by your watch? (in/by)

Here preposition 'by' is more appropriate as it indicates 'according to'. Time is an abstract concept, so 'in' can't be used.

5. Distribute these books among the students. (between/among)​

  'Among' is used when the distribution of things is done for more than two people. 'Between' is used when the distribution of things is done for  two people.
