Can a's "with" be replaced with "by"? And b's "through" by "by or with"?
I think "with" is mostly for tools, "by" for "actions or vehicles" and "through" is vague.
Prepositions for means or method like "by, with, through" don't seem to have clear distinctions.
a)Write your answer with(by?) a black pen, not with(by?) a red one.
b)Distance learning through(by? with?) the Internet is becoming more popular.
