Question
The reasons for the sudden fall of (A) Bitcoin are not
clear, but it has (B) sure fired up the competition between (C) the other rival currencies.(D) In the following question, a sentence is divided into four parts A, B, C, and D in which one of the parts has grammatical or contextual error. You have to identify which part contains the error. If none of the part has any error, then, mark option E, i.e., ‘No error’ as your answer.Solution
The correct preposition used here should be ‘among’.We use between to refer to two things which are clearly separated while we use among to talk about things which are not clearly separated because they are part of a group or crowd or mass of objects. In this sentence the comparison between Bitcoin and other currencies is shown, hence being a particular type of object, ‘among’ is correct instead of ‘between’.
