    Identify the grammatically correct sentence.
    Question

    Identify the grammatically correct sentence.

    A.

    The committee have decided its final plan.

    B.

    Each of the players was given a new jersey.

    C.

    Neither of the answers are correct.

    D.

    The bouquet of roses were lying on the table.

    Correct option is B

    The correct option is (b).

    Explanation: In the sentence “Each of the players was given a new jersey”, the subject is “Each”, which is singular.
    • Therefore, the singular verb “was” is correctly used.
    • The sentence is grammatically correct in terms of subject-verb agreement.

    Grammar Rule involved (English/ Hindi):
    • Words like each, every, either, neither are treated as singular and take a singular verb.
    • “Each” एकवचन माना जाता है, इसलिए इसके साथ singular verb का प्रयोग होता है।

    Explanation of Other Options:
    • (a): “Committee” is used with singular reference here, so “has” would be more appropriate than “have”.
    • (c): “Neither” is singular, so “is” should be used instead of “are”.
    • (d): The subject is “bouquet”, which is singular, so “was” should be used instead of “were”.

    So the correct answer is (b)
