Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.
Each of the students have a book.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The subject of the sentence is "Each," which is a singular indefinite pronoun.
Even though "students" is plural, the phrase "of the students" is a prepositional phrase that doesn't change the number of the subject.
Since "Each" is singular, it requires a singular verb. "Has" is the singular form.
The most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence is ‘has’.
