Identify the segment of the sentence, which contains the grammatical error, If there is no error mark "No Error". The father brought the sweets (A) and distributed them (B) between his five children who were quarrelling for it ( C)  No Error (D) Correct Answer (C)

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Part C.

The error lies in part C of the error because of the  wrong use of  preposition.

We need to replace BETWEEN with AMONG for making the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Between is used for the two while Among is use for the more than two.

The correct sentence will be-

The father brought the sweets and distributed them between his five children who were quarrelling for it.
