Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
It was very difficult for him to ________ the topics of assignment among his friends.

Correct option is C

✔️ The correct word is (c) distribute.
· Explanation:
· The sentence describes dividing or allocating topics among friends — a clear indication that the required verb should imply sharing or distribution.
· “Distribute” fits perfectly: it means to divide and assign in portions.
· Grammatical rule used:
· Verb following “to” is always in its base form (V1): to + distribute
· ✦ Hindi Explanation: जब "to" के बाद कोई क्रिया आती है, तो वह infinitive (V1) रूप में होती है। और “among” के साथ वितरण का कार्य “distribute” दर्शाता है।
