Correct Answer: between the


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

The segment in the sentence that contains the grammatical error is "between the."

Explanation:
When comparing individuals in a group, "between" is used for two entities, while "among" is used for three or more. In this case, since there are four sisters, the correct preposition to use is "among".

Therefore, the corrected sentence is "She is the eldest among the four sisters."
