Dear teachers,
Can you tell me which should be chosen in the following sentence?
Do you think this shirt is too tight ___ the shoulder?
A. across B. over
I think it should be "over", but the answer is "across". Is the answer right?
Thank you! |

| "Across" is much more natural there, but I think "over" would also be OK. Any other opinions out there? |

Hi Puzzle,
When I try on a shirt that's too small, it's usually too tight at the shoulders.
