Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:
Each and every one of the boys took their seat in the bus.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The phrase 'Each and every one' is a distributive expression, which means it refers to every single boy individually, not as a group. Therefore, it requires a singular verb and a singular pronoun. The pronoun 'their' is plural, so it is incorrect. The singular masculine pronoun 'his' is the correct choice to agree with the singular subject implied by 'each and every one'.
