Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 3) i.e. C
Explanation:
- In part 'c' of the given sentence 'between' has been used as a preposition instead of 'among' which is wrong.
- The preposition 'among' is used in reference to the association with or in the company of more than two.
For example, The student distributed sweets among poor people. 'Between' and 'Among' are confusing pairs of the preposition. - 'Between' is used in reference to the association of two.
- 'Between' can be used in reference to more than two when we talk about a definite number of people etc no matter whether there are two or more things/persons and when we talk about mutual relationship or co-operation.
- For example, "There is an alliance between Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress in Maharashtra".
The Correct Sentence: "Food packages were distributed among the beggars."
Key Points
- Preposition: A word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause. (The man on the platform)
