    Question

    The sentence is divided into four segments: (A), (B), (C), and (D). Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If the sentence is both grammatically and contextually correct, select “No error” as the correct answer.

    C.

    C

    D.

    D

    E.

    No error

    Correct option is B

    Correct Answer: (b) B
    Sentence:
    Each of the players (A)/have practiced (B)/his routine drills (C)/before the match. (D)
    Error in Part (B):
    The verb "have practiced" is incorrect because the subject "Each of the players" is singular.
    Grammatical Rule:
    “Each of + plural noun” takes a singular verb.
    · Although "players" is plural, the phrase begins with "Each of", which makes the subject singular.
    · A singular subject requires a singular verb.
    · "Have practiced" is plural.
    · "Has practiced" is singular and correct here.

    Corrected Sentence: Each of the players (A)/has practiced (B)/his routine drills (C)/before the match. (D)​

    More Examples with “Each of”:
    · Each of the students was given a prize
    · Each of the players has a unique skill
    · Each of the reports has been reviewed

    Final Answer:

    (b) B — because “have practiced” should be replaced with “has practiced” to agree with the singular subject “Each of the players.”
