    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don’t find any error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer.
    There is constant friction / between the executive members / of the Association.

    A.

    There is constant friction

    B.

    between the executive members

    C.

    of the Association

    D.

    No error

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Error Explanation: The preposition “between” is used to indicate a relationship between two entities, not more.
    However, the term “executive members” implies more than two people, so the correct preposition should be “among.”
    Correct sentence: There is constant friction among the executive members of the Association.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Use “between” when referring to two people/things.
    · Use “among” when referring to more than two people/things collectively.
    Example:
    • There is misunderstanding between John and Mary.
    • There is good coordination among the team members.
    Information Booster: If we are referring to individual relationships between each member in a group of more than two, “between” can sometimes be used—but in general usage like this, “among” is appropriate.
