Choose the correct option to fill the blank.

Each of the boys ______ his own book.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. has

  1. Step 1: The distributive pronoun 'Each' refers to individual members of a group considered separately.
  2. Step 2: Even when followed by a plural prepositional phrase ('of the boys'), the grammatical subject remains singular ('Each') and governs a singular verb.
  3. Step 3: The third-person singular present form of 'have' is 'has': 'Each of the boys has his own book.'
Answer
has.
