Answer:
The father has left behind a huge sum to be distributed between the two brothers.
He had not only consulted the opposition parties but also accommodated their views while dropping this controversial clause.
Found guilty of murder the accused was sentenced to death.
Explanation:
- Primarily, 'between' is used when we are referring to two separate things/persons. And 'among' is used while referring to more than two things/ persons. In the first sentence, the narrator is talking about two brothers so, we would use 'between' here.
- Furthermore, we use 'not only' at the commencement of a clause, by using inversion. Thus, verb (consulted) would be applied after 'not only' rather than the subject (he).
- Additionally, we use preposition 'of' with guilty not 'on'. If someone is guilty of a crime or offence, they have committed that crime or offence.
Hence, there is an error in all these sentences.
Answer:
0.4) No error

Explanation:
The first sentence "The father has left behind a huge sum to be distributed among the two brothers" is correct. There is no error in this sentence.
The second sentence "He had consulted not only the opposition parties but also accommodated their
views while dropping this controversial clause" is also correctly framed. No error is found in this.
The third sentence "Found guilty on murder the accused was sentenced to death" is not correct. Instead of "on" "of" preposition must be used. The sentence must be "Found guilty of murder the accused was sentenced to death."
