Correct option is D
Option (d) contains an error.
Detailed explanation of error:
The phrase
“among the two states” is incorrect because
‘among’ is used for
more than two persons/things, whereas
‘between’ is used when referring to
exactly two. Since the sentence talks about
two states, the correct preposition should be
‘between’, not
‘among’.
Correct sentence:
We are in the final stage of resolving the border dispute
between the two states.
Grammatical rule used:
·
Between → used for two persons/things
·
Among → used for more than two persons/things
Example:
· The agreement was signed
between India and Nepal.
Information booster:
In competitive exams,
preposition errors like between/among, since/for, in/at/on are frequently tested.
