Answer 2

The part that has an error is option D. Amongst Paul and Peter,

• The word ‘amongst’ has been used incorrectly.
• Here the comparison is between only two individuals, Paul and Peter.
• Hence the correct word that should have been used for the comparison is ‘between’.
• Though ‘between’ and ‘amongst’ are both used for comparing people, things or aspects, ‘between’ is used when there are only two entities involved.
• ‘Amongst’ is used when more than two entities are being compared.
• For example, ‘between’ is used to compare apples and oranges, but ‘amongst’ is used to compare apples, oranges and peaches.
