Correct Answer: round


Solution : The first option is correct.

Explanation:

In this context, the preposition round is used to convey the distribution or circulation of Uncle James's letter within the family circle. The word round functions as a preposition, connecting the verb shot with its object, the family circle.

This construction suggests that Uncle James's letter is being disseminated or shared among the members of the family.
