"of" or "among"

Personally, I would choose "of"; however, "among" would be completely acceptable as well.

Hi Hly,

The proper fit is 'of' but I am not sure if I can explain why...let me give it a go.

Perhaps because I think a more thorough sentence would be:

'Among' connotes that you ar

I prefer "of",it's a small word instead of a big one.

but I don't think it 's convincing at all.

Hly look at my previous post...I was editing it when you posted your 2nd reply.

I see what you mean,and agree with you.

eg:

Among all the people,only two have passed the exam.

= only two out of all the people have passed the exam.

Of all the people,he is the youngest= he is the yongest of all .

Thanks a million!
