They sit _____________ the campfire.

- Into
- At
Correct Answer

A. Round

Explanation

The word "round" is the correct answer because it indicates that they are sitting in a circular or curved shape around the campfire. The word "into" would suggest that they are entering the campfire, which is not possible. The word "at" would imply that they are sitting directly on top of the campfire, which is also not possible. Therefore, "round" is the most appropriate choice to describe their seating arrangement.
