Directions: In this question, a part of the sentence is made bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (A), (B), (C) and (D) which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative.
Each boy and each girl are requested to be in school uniform tomorrow.
Each boys and eachs girl are
Incorrect AnswerEach boy and each girl is
Correct AnswerEach boy and girl are
Incorrect AnswerEach boy and girl is
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Correct Answer is (b).The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The term ‘each’ follows singular form. Each boy and each girl is individually and not as a group. So the singular form of the be verb should be used. Hence ‘is’ should be used in place of ‘are’ in order to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Among the given choices, only option B replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
Each boy and each girl is requested to be in school uniform tomorrow. Option B is hence the correct answer.
