Answer: ERROR IS UNDERLINED-

They shared the property between them

Correction: They shared the property "among" them

Explanation:

  • A preposition is a word that comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.
  • Between is used when naming distinct, individual things (can be 2, 3, or more)
  • For example- Things are not going well between Elena and her brother. So, here, there are certain issues that are not going well between only two persons that is Elena and her brother.
  • Among is used when the items are part of a group or are not specifically named( should be more than 4,5)
  • For example-  I cannot decide what to wear among these outfits. Here, there are many outfits that's why among is used.
  • Referring to the question, it is not specified that the property is shared with whom as "They" is plural, we used "among".
