Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, Select 'No improvement required'.
Each of the students has to submit their homework to the teacher by Monday.
Answer
Correct Answer : b ) has to submit his
Explanation :In the given sentence, usage of their is wrong and it needs to replaced with his.
As per Grammar rules, when 'of' is used after 'each', 'every' or 'one', we use plural noun or pronoun following 'of' and in the latter parts, we use a singular noun or pronoun.
Here 'students' (plural noun) is used after Each of the, but in the latter part, instead of a singular pronoun, a plural pronoun - 'their' is used.
So, the usage of 'their' is wrong and it needs to be replaced with 'his'
The correct sentence will be:
Each of the students has to submit his homework to the teacher by Monday.
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
