1 ) each
2 ) each of
3) both can be used

Answer 1

Answer:

1) each child was given a present.

Answer 2

Each child was given a present.

• Each is an indefinite pronoun.
• Other indefinite pronouns are : 'every' , 'some' , 'all' 'none' etc.
• Each and every is considered as singular pronouns.
• Hence, 'was' is used in the sentence.
• Though 'every' sounds like a lot of people, it is actually a singular pronoun.
• If the sentence was like ___ of the children was given a present , in that case , 'each of' could be used.
