Question

Tap the sentence that uses ‘between’ correctly.

• A. Spending time on the beaches is between the best things one can do in the Caribbean islands.
• B. Between visiting the pristine beaches and mountain peaks, travellers to the Caribbean would be spoilt for choice.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Between visiting the pristine beaches and mountain peaks, travellers to the Caribbean would be spoilt for choice.

The preposition ‘between’ is used to talk about two contrasting ideas. Here, the sentence talks about two contrasting ideas i.e. ‘visiting the beaches’ and ‘visiting the mountain peaks’, that’s why it’s correct. However, the other option uses ‘between’ to talk about a group of similar ideas, therefore, it is incorrect.
