**Each of the students ___ to bring a notebook.** Which is correct?

Ahave needed
Bneed
Cneeding
Dneeds
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. needs
The subject is 'Each' (singular indefinite pronoun), even though 'of the students' is plural. Singular subject requires singular verb 'needs'. SAT frequently tests this — 'each', 'every', 'either', 'neither' all take singular verbs.
