Answer

Step-by-step solution

The word 'confusion' is an uncountable noun. The prepositions 'among' and 'amongst' are used with plural countable nouns, whereas 'amid' and 'amidst' are used with uncountable nouns. Between 'amid' and 'amidst', 'amidst' is generally preferred before words beginning with a vowel sound (such as 'all'). Therefore, 'Amidst' is the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. Answer: Amidst
