SSC GD 2024 PYQ — Question 4

SSC GD Const (English) - 22 Feb 2024 - Shift 4 • English • Q4

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.

Please distribute these balloons between all the candidates

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. these balloons between.

The error lies in the use of "between" when referring to more than two people.

"Between" is typically used to describe relationships or distributions involving two things or people. For more than two, the correct preposition is "among".

Since "all the candidates" refers to more than two individuals, "among" is the appropriate word to use.

Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "Please distribute these balloons among all the candidates."
