Correct Answer: past me


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

Explanation : In the given sentence, the preposition among is not the most appropriate choice, as it suggests being in the midst of a group or multiple objects. To convey the idea of walking near or in proximity to a single person (in this case, me), the more suitable preposition is past.
Past me accurately reflects the direction of movement and proximity in the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "She walked past me without greeting me."
