Answer 2

Answer:

"Each boy and girl was given a prize."

Explanation:

Each is used before singular noun.

In the given sentence boy and girl are both singular nouns.

(The plural of boy will be 'boys' and plural of girl of will be 'girls'.)

But the helping verb 'were' used is the sentence is after plural nouns. Therefore, the correct helping verb will be 'was' which is used after singular nouns or pronouns.

And each is used only ones before two consecutive singular nouns.

Hence, the correct sentence will become

"Each boy and girl was given a prize."
