Question

Choose the grammatically correct sentence from the following:

• A. Each of the students has done well.
• B. Each of the student has done well.
• C. Each of the students have done well.
• D. Each of the student have done well.

Hint:

When a sentence starts with “Each of…,” always treat it as singular and pair it with a singular verb form (“has,” “is,” etc.).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The subject of the sentence begins with “Each of…,” which is always considered singular, regardless of the plural noun that follows.
Therefore, the verb must also be singular — “has” rather than “have.”
Option (A) is correct: “Each of the students has done well” maintains both correct subject-verb agreement and proper plural form “students.”
Option (B) incorrectly uses the singular “student” after “each of the,” which requires the plural “students.”
Option (C) uses the correct plural noun “students” but incorrectly pairs it with “have” instead of “has.”
Option (D) makes both errors — singular “student” after “each of the” and incorrect verb “have.”
Thus, (A) is the only grammatically correct sentence.
