John, why are you sitting separated from others?

Hi

Are all of these sentences correct and carry the same meaning?

[teacher to a student who is angry with his friends on a picnic]

John, why are you sitting separated from others?
John, why are you sitting away from others?
John, why are you sitting far away from others?
John, why are you sitting at such a distance from others?

Thanks,

Tom

I would put a the before others in these sentences. They are similar in meaning.

I think the teacher would be more likely to ask, "Why aren't you sitting with the others?"
