Choosing Between The Options

[Page 19 of 26]
v>

 

For each of the sentences that follow, choose the word in the parentheses that is correct, then click Continue.
1. The percentage of teenagers who ride their bikes is (fewer, less) than the percentage who drive.
  fewer less    
2. The (number, amount) of errors in the text render it extremely difficult to read.
  number amount    
3. Elizabeth found it difficult to choose (among, between) her friends because all of them expressed a desire to go to the concert with her.
  among between    


We can't tell how many friends Elizabeth has until we read the whole sentence. Since the sentence refers to "all" of her friends, there must be more than two (otherwise the correct word would be "both"). Therefore, there are more than two options, and among is correct.
