sita and meera quarrelled -----themselves.
a)among
b)between
Answers
Sita and Meera quarreled ‘among’ themselves.
Explanation:
There is a difference in usage of among and between in a sentence. Between can be used when we are comparing or referring to two or more things. These things should be different from each other. For example: My father asked me to choose between a bicycle, a pair of shoes and a music player as a gift for my birthday. All these things are distinct from each other.
Among is used for people or things which might not be different from each other but viewed as a group. Like, she always feels comfortable among her friends. Similarly, Sita and Meera quarreled among themselves and not between themselves. Using between will be grammatically wrong.

Option (b)
Explanation:
- Between means 'into or in the space that segregates atleast 2 places/objects/people, for example, The two girls divided the sweet between themselves
- It is often thought that between is used only for 2 items. However, this is not correct. We use between when referring to individual, distinct items (be 2, or 3, or more).
- Between indicate one-to-one relationships, that is, we use between when talking about a relationship of a person/thing concerning other things/people distinctly and separately. That is, we use between for more than 2 objects if this same one-to-one connection/link/relationship between distinct units is understood from the context.
- We use among when the things form a part of a group, or are not specifically named (MUST be 3 or more), for example, The negotiations among the nations of South Asia are going well.
