Question

Which sentence uses the word among or between incorrectly?

A.
My favorite restaurant, Le Nuit de Paris, was rated number one among the restaurants in Chicago.
B.
Every time I go to that restaurant, I have trouble choosing between the salmon and the veal.
C.
Their desserts are so rich, my sister and I usually share one among us.

Answer 1

The sentence that uses the word "among" or "between" incorrectly is:

C. Their desserts are so rich, my sister and I usually share one among us.

The word "among" is used to show a relationship involving more than two items or people. However, in this sentence, there are only two people mentioned - the speaker and their sister. Therefore, the correct word to use here is "between."

To correct the sentence, we can say:

C. Their desserts are so rich, my sister and I usually share one between us.

Now, the sentence accurately reflects the shared action between the speaker and their sister, using the appropriate word "between" for two people.

IS THAT AN AMONG US REFERENCE!? /j
