Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
Each one of the participants in the annual function ________ an applause.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. deserves.
The correct option is "deserves" because the subject "Each one" is singular, requiring a singular verb.
In the sentence "Each one of the participants in the annual function deserves an applause," "deserves" matches the singular subject "Each one," ensuring subject-verb agreement.
The other options are incorrect because they either use plural verb forms or do not fit the sentence structure properly.
