There’s a common and oddly persistent belief that between should be used only when there are two elements, and among should be used when there are more than two elements. But this rule is a myth—or, to be more charitable, it’s a great oversimplification. You can use between when there are more than two elements involved: 
He had to choose between a bicycle, a train set, a pair of sneakers, and a new backpack for his birthday present.

then what makes option 4 incorrect??
please explain

Hi Aditya,
According to means ‘as reported by' or ‘as stated by’ and refers to an opinion which is not the speaker’s opinion. 'According to' usually occurs in the front position. It is commonly followed by a noun phrase and sometimes by a clause. Thus, 'According to me' is grammatically incorrect.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you face any other issues.
Regards

On the other hand, "among" is incorrect when used to distinguish between two things.
Hope this helps!

Thank you sir, But I think this question was objected because there was an ambiguity,

Hi Manisha,
Sentence 4 is not correct. We have updated the solution for clarity.

Sentence 3 is correct. The sentence "The books were distributed between Jessica, Neha, and Swati" is correct if you're focusing on the distinct relationships between the individuals, even though "between" is traditionally used for two people. It's acceptable in this case because we're referring to separate entities in the distribution.

I hope this helps!

Hi Divesh,

Statement 3 is correct, since there is an 'and', a comma is not needed, furthermore, it's statement 4 which is incorrect since it uses 'among' instead of 'between'. 'among' points towards classification rather than distribution.

Hope this helps.

As Neha and Swati are not a group, a comma will come after Neha. This is a case of Oxford Comma.

Hi Divesh,

Oxford comma indicates professionalism and grammatical correctness but we must remember why it is used, consider the following sentences:

1. I gifted flowers to my parents, Sunil, and Dheer.
2. I gifted flowers to my parents, Sunil and Dheer.

Note that the use of the comma is paramount here, while the first sentence exemplifies how the flowers were gifted to the three classes, the second one shows that Sunil and Dheer are likely just parents to whom the flowers were gifted.

It is important to note that there is not any ambiguity in the provided sentence, thus the use of the Oxford comma is entirely a professional choice.

Hope this helps.
