Question

He searched for his notes among the magazines and between the books.

What is the object of the preposition among?
 

notes

magazines

books

searched

Answer 1

B). Magazines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sentence carries three prepositional phrases 'for his notes', 'among the magazines', and 'between the books' where the phrase consists of a preposition(in the beginning like for, among, and between) followed by the object of preposition(notes, magazines, and books) and modifier of the object(his, and the). As per the question, the object of the preposition 'among' would be 'magazines' as it exemplifies a noun that follows the preposition in order to complete the meaning of the phrase(prepositional) as well as the sentence. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The object of presposition of among would be the word magazines. The noun that comes after the preposition is called the object of the preposition.

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
