Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.
She walked among me without greeting me.
Option 1: about me
Option 2: past me
Option 3: over me
Option 4: No substitution required
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."
