Question

Rama and uma shared the sweets among them

Answer 1

Error in the sentence: "Among"

Correct sentence: Rama and Uma shared the sweets between them.

The Use of 'Between' and 'Among'

• In English grammar, 'Between' is used to refer to two people as 'Rama and 'Uma' in the given sentence.
• While 'Among' is used when there are more than two people.
• Example: The students shared sweets among themselves.
• However, there are some exceptions: "Between' can be used when there are more than two elements of distinct categories.  
• Example: You have to choose between ice cream, a burger, or pizza.
• 'Among' can also be used between two elements but it's better to use 'amongst,' than 'among.'
