자주 하는 실수:
Learners often use the wrong preposition and say *prevalent of* instead of the correct patterns *prevalent in* (for places or groups) or *prevalent among* (for groups of people). They may also confuse *prevalent* with the verb *prevent* because the words look similar, but the meanings are different.
