Identify the sentence with NO grammatical error:
AEach of the candidates submitted their applications successfully.
BEach of the candidates has submitted his or her application.
CEach of the candidate has submitted his application.
DEach of the candidates have submitted their applications.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Each of the candidates has submitted his or her application.
'Each' is grammatically singular, requiring singular verb ('has') and singular pronoun ('his or her' or 'their' if treated as singular-they in modern usage). (B) is most formally correct. (D) errs in 'each of the candidate' (should be 'candidates'). (A) and (C) use plural 'have/their' improperly with singular 'each'.
