You might speed up healing time by gently pressing a warm washcloth 20 your eyelid for 10 minutes, 3 or 4 times a day.
答案：(A) against
press A against B 是「把 A 壓在、抵在 B 上」，本句指把溫熱的毛巾輕壓在眼皮上；among（在…之中）、about（關於）、after（在…之後）都不合。

against 你大概只記得「反對」（be against the plan、fight against），沒學到它更基本的空間意義：兩個物體接觸並互相抵住。這個核心概念同時解釋了兩種用法——身體上的「抵住」（lean against the wall 靠著牆）與抽象的「對抗、反對」，都是「頂著、相向」的意思。
gently pressing a warm washcloth ___ your eyelid：毛巾與眼皮是兩個接觸並施加輕壓的物體，用 against 最精確。press A against B 是固定的說法，中文是「把 A 輕壓在 B 上」。
among 用於三者以上之間（among the trees）；about 是「關於、大約」；after 是「在…之後」。三者都無法描述「貼著並施力」這個動作。
國中學過 lean against the wall（靠牆）、rain beating against the window（雨打在窗上）——這些 against 全都不是「反對」，而是「抵著、打在…上」。把 against 的核心理解成「接觸並頂住」，兩類用法就通了。
press A against B（把 A 壓在 B 上）、lean against（靠著）、up against（面臨）、be against（反對）、against the law（違法）、against one's will（違背意願）。
