Question

Select the option that identifies the error and supplies the correction for the following line taken from an article about growing obesity.
Obesity in teenage children is a major concern between parents today.

• A. teenage → teenagers
• B. concern →  concerns
• C. between →  among
• D. today →  now

Hint:

Use “between” for exactly two entities and “among” for more than two.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The sentence "Obesity in teenage children is a major concern between parents today," contains an error in the word "between."
"Between" is used for distinct, separate items, often in pairs.
For a collective group or more than two entities, the correct word is "among."
To correct the sentence, replace "between" with "among" to accurately reflect the collective concern of all parents.
The corrected sentence is: "Obesity in teenage children is a major concern among parents today."
