Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

The county is divided in six districts and many of the citizens live in the district’s main town.
  1. in six districts
  2. into six districts
  3. for six districts
  4. by six districts
Explanation
Answer: B - The best choice is “into six districts”

The proper preposition is necessary to complete the sentence. “In,” “for,” and “by” do not properly show the relationship between “divided” and “six districts.” “Into” relates to how the country is divided - six districts.
