Question

Each of the boys ________ given a present
(a) where
(b) Was
(c) Had been
(d) Has been​

Answer 1

Each of the boys was given a present.

Why 'was' is the correct option?

• As we know, the subject-verb coordination is an important part of the English grammar.

• The word 'Each' is a singular pronoun, hence we use the verb 'was' instead of 'were'.

• We should keep in mind whether the collective noun is singular or plural before using verbs in sentences like this.

So, the correct option is b) was
