Given the question: I am testing my students' logic. What is the answer they should choose between "a distance away" and "next to him"? Logic test: Marco is talking to his friend, John. John is listening to Marco, and realizes that Marco's voice is now quite soft and difficult to hear. He turns around and notices that Marco is hard to hear because Marco is (A) next to him, (B) a distance away
The answer is:
next to him
