• A. Each of the students whom/
• B. I have chosen to take part/
• C. in the discussion have/
• D. Indicated that he will be happy to do so/
• E. No error

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve this question, we need to identify the grammatical error in the given sentence divided into four parts. The sentence is: 

1. Each of the students whom/
2. I have chosen to take part/
3. in the discussion have/
4. Indicated that he will be happy to do so/

The options provided correlate with these sections. Let's analyze each part:

1. Each of the students whom/
   • The phrase "Each of the students whom" is grammatically correct. "Each of" is followed by a plural noun "students," which is correct. "Whom" is used as the object of "I have chosen," which is also correct.
2. I have chosen to take part/
   • This section is also correct. The clause properly connects with the previous phrase, indicating that the speaker has selected certain students to participate.
3. in the discussion have/
   • Here lies the error: The subject "Each" is singular, so the verb should also be singular. The correct form should be "has" instead of "have." Thus, the sentence should read "in the discussion has."
4. Indicated that he will be happy to do so/
   • This part is correct as it follows the proper grammatical structure. The pronoun "he" signals back to "Each," which is singular, and matches with the singular pronoun.

Therefore, the error lies in part in the discussion have/ where "have" should be replaced with "has." Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
