Question

A sentence is divided into three parts. Choose the incorrect part. If no error is in the sentence , choose the option (D).
(A) Each of players of the cricket team
(B) have received a participation certificate
(C) from the Chairman of the company
(D) No error

• A. Each of players of the cricket team
• B. have received a participation certificate
• C. from the Chairman of the company
• D. No error

Hint:

Ignore prepositional phrases coming between the subject and the verb!
In "Each of the players", the noun "players" is inside a prepositional phrase ("of...").
The true subject is "Each", which is always singular and requires a singular verb ("has", "is", "was", "does").

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the grammatical subject.
The subject is Each of players of the cricket team. The true grammatical subject is Each, not players. Each is always singular.
Step 2: Apply the agreement rule.
Since Each is singular, the verb must also be singular: has received, not have received. Part B uses have received, which is plural and therefore incorrect.
Step 3: State the rule.
Remember: Each of + plural noun always takes a singular verb. Part B contains the error.
\[ \boxed{\text{have received a participation certificate}} \]
