I gave the idiom test. I have a few queries
- When to use "distinguished X from y" and "distinguished between X and Y" ?I guess both of them are correct.
- Choose the sentence with properly used idiom (emphasized with boldface). Please note that a wrong answer choice may be grammatically correct.
1-What these scores tell us is that rigor is lacking in some schools.
2-What these scores tell us is that some schools lack of rigor.
3-What these scores tell us is that there's a lack of rigor in some schools.
4-All of the above
5-None of the above
I selected the (3) answer. But the correct choice is (1). Can someone explain?

Hi. The only phrasal idiomatic expression that I see here is "lack of"
Can you explain in a little more detail as to why you picked (3)?
