Dear guest,
As you can see this is the correct answer:
I'm afraid you can't access that particular program.

| Am I right thinking that "program" here is some kind of learning course or something, not computer application? |

Hi Sultano,
You can arrive at a place and you can reach or access something. Your sentence should read What is the difference between access and arrive?

But TD, if he wants the merits of three or more things... can't he use "among"?
(you're right, of course, in that if he wants to compare two things, he needs to use "between")
sort of akin to more/most and less/least:
comparing two things: use more/less
comparing three or more things: use most/least |

Hi Sultano

Use the word 'between' because what you are actually asking is this:
What is the difference between each of the following?
- access and reach
- access and arrive
- reach and arrive
Look at the usage note for the word 'between' here.

| Quote: | | Your sentence should be read............................................. |
You can say either one of these and the meaning is basically the same:
- Your sentence should read this way: "xxxx xx xxx xxx"
- Your sentence should be written this way: "xxxx xx xxx xxx"
